FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Tv channels for every fa cup quarter final and how to watch online | History Defined

Details for the FA Cup quarter-finals have been confirmed, with two of the four ties set to be shown free-to-air on the BBC and all four live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.

HBO Max is set to replace streaming service discovery+ within the UK from 26 March, with TNT Sports moving platforms accordingly.

Manchester City take on Liverpool in a heavyweight clash for a place in the last four, while Arsenal have once again been given a favourable draw as they take on the only Championship side left in the tournament, Southampton.

Elsewhere West Ham host Leeds in another all-Premier League clash and minnows Port Vale, the lowest-ranked side remaining, are rewarded for their giant-killing of top-flight Sunderland with a trip to Stamford Bridge.

The quarter-final ties will be played over the weekend of 4 April.
