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.

Although this will occur during our extensive build-up to the Molineux match, rest assured we will be fully across matters on our official channels, as we await the opponents for Ruben Amorim's men.

After exiting the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle, the Reds will be determined to embark on a run in the competition we won as recently as 2024, when beating Manchester City 2-1 in the final at Wembley.

The third-round ties are due to be played on and around the weekend of 10 January 2026, sandwiched between our league games against Burnley, at Turf Moor, and Manchester City at Old Trafford.
