The draw for the fifth round of the 2024/25 FA Cup took place on Monday, February 10, determining the eight matchups for the 16 clubs remaining in the competition.
BBC1 in the UK hosted the draw as part of their One Show ahead of the Crystal Palace trip to Doncaster Rovers.
In the fourth round, Manchester United got the ball rolling on Friday as they edged past Leicester City, and Manchester City joined them with a nervy Saturday victory over Leyton Orient, before Brighton & Hove Albion eliminated Chelsea.
However, the big news came on Sunday as Premier League leaders Liverpool were dumped out of the competition away at EFL Championship relegation battlers Plymouth Argyle.
With no replays in the 2024/25 season, all games are settled over the course of a single game, with extra time and penalties used if necessary. VAR will also be brought in from the fifth round onwards.
Below, The Sporting News runs through the full draw — just one step away from the quarterfinal stage — and when those matches will take place.
