The FA Cup gathers pace quickly at the start of the year and we are already wondering which teams will face each other in the fifth round.
Clubs that make it through to the final 16 sides remaining will be watching the next draw keenly, with favourable ties for Premier League teams and grudge matches elsewhere both possible.
While there's still the fourth round to get through, it's worth sticking the date for the fifth-round draw in your diary before that notification pops up on your phone informing you your team is heading to the Etihad and the dream is effectively over.
Here are all the details you need for the FA Cup fifth-round draw.
When is the 2023/24 FA Cup fifth round draw?
The draw for the 2023/24 FA Cup fifth round will take place on Sunday 28 January at half-time in the match between Liverpool and Norwich City at Anfield. This means teams like Manchester United and Wrexham will know their potential opponents later in the competition before they compete in the fourth round.
Where can I watch the 2023/24 FA Cup fifth round draw?
The fifth-round draw takes place live on ITV 1/ITVX during Liverpool vs Norwich on Sunday. It was scheduled to take place before kick-off, but fan disorder during Wolves' win at West Brom forced the time to be pushed back.
If you can't tune into the draw, it will be free to listen to on talkSPORT Radio.

When is the 2023/24 FA Cup fifth round?
The fifth round of the FA Cup will be a midweek round of fixtures in the week commencing Monday 26 February. Games will not have their dates finalised until the draw has been made and various conditions are taken into account.
There will be no replays in the FA Cup from the fifth round onwards which means clubs will know for certain which team they will face rather than having to wait for the result of a replay by the time the quarter-final draw comes around.
