Four matches from the Adobe Women’s FA Cup Fifth Round Proper will be broadcast live across TNT Sports and Channel 4.

The full schedule is as follows:

Birmingham City v Chatham Town – Saturday 21 February, 17:15 kick-off – live on TNT Sports 1 & discovery+

Chelsea v Manchester United – Sunday 22 February, 13:30 kick-off – live on TNT Sports 1 & discovery+

Liverpool v Everton – Sunday 22 February, 16:30 kick-off – live on Channel 4, TNT Sports 1 & discovery+

London City Lionesses v Tottenham Hotspur – Monday 23 February, 19:30 kick-off – live on TNT Sports 1 & discovery+

Many eyes will be drawn to Chelsea v Manchester United – a rematch of the finals from last year as well as 2023, and a preview of the forthcoming Subway Women’s League Cup final.

Chelsea go into the tie as holders of the trophy, with United looking to regain the cup they won in 2024.

The Merseyside derby will also inevitably be fiercely fought, with Liverpool having just got their first Women’s Super League win of the season, and Everton in a dip of form. Both sides have suffered with injuries this season and are hoping for a good cup run to brighten their supporters’ spirits.

Women’s FA Cup: the other fifth-round matches

The four fifth-round matches not selected for broadcast are Manchester City v Sheffield United, Oxford United v Charlton Athletic, West Ham United v Brighton and Hove Albion, and Arsenal v Bristol City.

Arsenal and West Ham both had their fourth-round wins broadcast.

Winning clubs at this stage of the competition will receive £80,000 from the prize fund, with £20,000 for the losing teams.

The Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals are scheduled for the weekend of Sunday, 5th April, with the semi-finals on Sunday, 10th May.

The final takes place at Wembley on Sunday, 31st May.
