What time is the FA Cup fifth-round draw? TV channel info and all 16 ball numbers

The world's oldest cup competition is entering the latter stages, with the FA Cup fifth-round fixtures set to get underway at the end of February.

Before the ties get underway, there is the exciting prospect of a draw to be conducted - and, of course, fourth-round replays to be contested. Manchester United and Tottenham are amongst the so-called 'big six' teams to have booked their place in the next round with wins over Reading and Preston respectively.

Meanwhile, Manchester City overcame Arsenal in arguably the tie of the round, with 2021 winners Leicester and Southampton also qualifying for the last-16. There will be one guaranteed League One side left in the competition as Sheffield Wednesday will take on Fleetwood in a replay after the game ended goalless.

Here is all the information you need ahead of the fifth-round draw...

When is the draw for the FA Cup fifth round?

The FA Cup fifth-round draw will take place on Monday, January 30 at 7pm.

Derby's clash with West Ham at Pride Park will be the only game not to have taken place by the draw time, with that tie set to get underway on Monday at 7:45pm on ITV4.

How can I watch?

In the United Kingdom, the draw will be shown live on the One Show, which begins on BBC One at 7pm.

It will also be streamed live on the official Emirates FA Cup Twitter and Facebook social media channels, while Mirror Football will also be live-blogging the event.
