When does the FA Cup fifth round start?
The FA Cup fifth round begins in the week commencing March 3.
Why is the fifth round played mid-week?
Traditionally the fifth round games have been played over the weekend but FA chiefs agreed the change last year, deciding to scrap replays from the fifth round onwards and move them to mid-week.
The change was made to reduce fixture congestion during a very busy time period - and to allow a round of Premier League matches to be split over two consecutive weekends, opening up space in the schedule for the winter break.
Any ties that are level after 90 minutes will go to extra time and, if necessary, penalties to determine the winner.
