The FA Cup fourth round is shaping up to be another unmissable chapter in this season’s historic competition, packed with compelling narratives and classic cup intrigue.

After a thrilling third round that saw shock victories and high-scoring ties, the draw has now delivered a sequence of ties that promise drama, passion and storyline-rich encounters across England. Among the most talked-about fixtures is Chelsea’s trip to Hull City, where new Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior returns to the club he once played for and managed. That emotional reunion at the MKM Stadium adds a fascinating subplot to the weekend’s football, as Rosenior seeks to guide the Blues further in the competition against his former side.

Beyond that marquee matchup, the fourth round continues to deliver the FA Cup’s trademark blend of elite clubs and lower-league hopefuls. Non-league giant-killings still linger in fans’ memories, and mid-table sides are eager to prove their worth on a national stage. As with every round, the TV selections in the UK reflect both quality and narrative value, with broadcasters choosing ties that will resonate with supporters nationwide. Coverage across free-to-air and subscription platforms means fans won’t miss a moment of the action this February.
