Just eight teams remain in the 2023/24 FA Cup and the chance to play under the iconic arch is around the corner.
However, the majority of those left in this season’s competition have had their fair share of experiences at Wembley Stadium. Just two non-Premier League clubs have progressed into the quarter-finals competition, with Leicester winning the FA Cup as recently as three years ago, while Coventry City had their hearts broken in the Championship play-off final by Luton Town last season.
Nevertheless, an FA Cup semi-final is always a grand occasion, and a captivating draw means it’s somewhat tricky to predict which sides will make up the competition’s final four.
These quarter-final ties aren’t to be missed, and here’s how you can tune into each one in the UK and US.
The upcoming FA Cup quarter-finals will be split evenly over the weekend of 16-17 March 2024.
There is a full slate of Premier League and Championship fixtures scheduled over the same spring period but the FA Cup takes priority. Much to chagrin of those affected but not involved in the cup, several league matches will have to be hastily moved to another date.
All four FA Cup quarter-finals will be televised on the UK via BBC One and ITV1.
ITV had the first pick of the bunch this time around, and they unsurprisingly opted to take the blockbuster tie between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford, which will kick off on Sunday at 15:30 GMT.
The famous old rivals first faced off in England’s most prestigious cup competition back in 1898 – at a time when United were still known as Newton Heath. Liverpool are favourites for this year’s match but the Reds have only won four of their 18 FA Cup ties against United (including one victory from the 19th century).
BBC took the Manchester City vs Newcastle clash with their first pick, and they’ll also broadcast Leicester’s trip to Chelsea – a repeat of the 2021 final which the Foxes surprisingly won – on Sunday 17 March.
Wolves‘ clash with Championship side Coventry kicks off the weekend’s action, with ITV1 broadcasting this fixture.
US viewers have a far more straightforward setup, with all of the action available via ESPN+.
