The FA Cup is ramping up quickly as we head into the new year, and football fans are already eagerly anticipating the fifth-round draw to see which teams will face off against each other.

As the final 16 sides remaining in the competition await the draw, there is excitement building around the possibility of favorable matchups for Premier League teams and potential grudge matches elsewhere.

Although the fourth round is still ahead of us, it's important to mark your calendars for the fifth-round draw to avoid the disappointment of finding out your team's fate via a phone notification. The draw is scheduled for Sunday 28 January at around 14:00 GMT, just before the Liverpool vs Norwich City match at Anfield.

For those unable to watch the draw live, it will be available to listen to for free on talkSPORT Radio. The draw will take place on ITV 1/ITVX as part of the pre-match coverage for the Liverpool vs Norwich game.

The fifth round of the FA Cup will feature midweek fixtures in the week commencing Monday 26 February. Game dates will not be finalized until after the draw, taking various conditions into account.

One significant change in the FA Cup format is that there will be no replays from the fifth round onwards. This means that clubs will know their opponents for certain, eliminating the need to wait for the result of a replay by the time the quarter-final draw comes around. This change adds an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the competition.
