When is the FA Cup sixth-round draw?

The FA Cup fourth round concludes on Wednesday evening.

The FA Cup fifth round is taking place this midweek as 16 sides look to book in a sixth-round place. 

Coventry City were the first team to book their passage into the last-eight when they emphatically ended non-league Maidstone United’s fairytale run with a 5-0 thrashing on Monday evening. 

Tuesday night saw plenty of goals and drama with Erling Haaland’s five-goal haul for holders Manchester City at Luton Town grabbing the headlines, while Newcastle United edged past Championship Blackburn Rovers on penalties and second-tier leaders Leicester City won at Bournemouth in extra time.
