Seven teams will be one win from a trip to Wembley Stadium when the draw for the 2025 FA Cup quarter-finals takes place.
At least one second-tier side is guaranteed to be in the reckoning because Preston North End are hosting Burnley in the fifth round.
Last season’s quarter-finals featured two epics when Championship club Coventry City scored twice during added time to win at Premier League Wolves and Manchester United recovered from going behind during extra time to knock out Liverpool at home.
When is the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals, what time does it start and how can you tune in? 101GreatGoals.com has the details.

FA Cup draw 2025: Quarter-finals time
The draw will take place on Sunday, March 2 after United attempt to earn a third win over Fulham this season when the Cottagers visit Old Trafford.
That game starts at 4.30pm GMT, so the earliest the draw could potentially take place is around 6.30pm.
All ties from the first round of the competition must be settled on the day, so there could be extra time and penalties if the score remains level, which would push the approximate time of the draw past 7pm.
FA Cup quarter-final draw: TV channel, online live stream
United vs Fulham is being shown by BBC Sport, which means the draw will be screened on BBC One.
Fans can follow the ceremony online and on the move via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website, while the Football Association’s online channels will also be carrying coverage.
A bit of magic to force a memorable moment 😮💨
