FA Cup matches & results 2021-22: Watch every draw & highlight on the road to Wembley

FA Cup matches results 202122 Watch every draw highlight on the road to Wembley
Teams from the Premier League and Championship will join the knockout competition in the third round with fans awaiting the usual serving of upsets.

The English FA Cup, football's oldest knockout competition in the world, turns 150 years in 2021-22 and after this weekend there will be 32 teams left in the running to hoist the prestigious trophy on May 14 in London's Wembley Stadium.

The competition has reached the third round, when the 20 Premier League clubs and the 24 Championship clubs join the fray and we've already had three Premier League teams ousted: Newcastle United lost at home to Cambridge United, Burnley suffered the same fate against Huddersfield Town and Watford were eliminated by fellow Premier League side and defending FA Cup holders Leicester City.

Fans are always eager to see a Cinderella run, but the last time a club from outside the top division won the competition was West Ham (1979-80) and the last time a team from a lower division made the final was Cardiff City in 2007-08. The sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers are still alive and move into the fourth round after shocking Reading.

The complete third-round schedule follows below. Shrewsbury Town (at Liverpool) and Morecambe (at Tottenham) will have their work cut out for them against two of the top Premier League teams. Manchester United vs. Aston Villa (Monday), West Ham vs. Leeds (Sunday) and Nottingham Forest vs. Arsenal (Sunday) are some of the other marquee matches left on the slate.

With the match calendar congested by league postponements due to COVID-19, traditional FA Cup replays (rematches) have been scrapped by the English Football Association for the rest of this season's tournament. Extra time and penalty kicks will be used to determine a winner from each match in both those rounds, removing the need for another match.

When is the FA Cup 4th round draw?
  • Date: Sunday, Jan. 9
  • Time: 11:50 a.m. ET
  • TV channel: None
  • Stream: ESPN+

Before the final results of the FA Cup third round are all in, the fourth-round draw will have already taken place. The 16 matchups for the weekend of Feb. 5-6 will be determined.

  • Round of 16 (fifth round): Wednesday, March 2
