About this season's FA Cup
Last season there were no third-round replays to help with the fixture backlog caused by Covid postponements - however, replays will take place up to and including the fourth round this time.
Winning teams at the third-round stage will collect £105,000 from the competition's prize fund.
The FA Cup final will take place at Wembley on 3 June, six days after the Premier League season ends and one week before the Champions League final in Istanbul on 10 June.
BBC One will show the draw for the fourth round live on Sunday at approximately 16:05 before the tie between Manchester City and Chelsea.
Mark Chapman is set to host the draw, with Emile Heskey and Karen Bardsley picking out the balls. The fourth round is scheduled to be played between 27-30 January.
