When is the FA Cup third-round draw?

The second round of the famous competition will be completed soon, with the first match being staged on Friday night, when Salford City take on Leyton Orient.

After a full weekend of action, there is also a tie on Monday, with Brackley Town meeting Burton Albion, on the same evening we tackle Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in the Premier League.

The top-flight and Championship clubs then enter the tournament at this stage, in an eagerly awaited slot on the calendar, with ex-Reds Dion Dublin and Mark Hughes doing the honours at the ceremony last year.

The Football Association has revealed the 2025/26 draw will be held on Monday at around 18:45 GMT, with TNT Sports 1 covering the event live.
