The Premier League’s 20 teams entered the fold for the third round of the 2025-26 FA Cup tournament, which began Friday, January 9 and runs through the weekend into Monday.
Some sides will be less pleased than others with their draw, as Tottenham Hotspur have already succumbed to the challenge of Aston Villa in a powerful third-round tie, and another big all-Premier League matchup awaits between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Premier League and Championship sides are the beasts of these rounds, but there are some minnows seeking major upsets this weekend.
Macclesfield — not Macclesfield Town — are a National League North side managed by John Rooney, the younger brother of Everton and Manchester United hero Wayne Rooney. They’ve already scored what is being hailed as the biggest shock in FA Cup history by holding on to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 early Saturday.
Weston-super-Mare come from the National League South and have never finished higher than seventh place in their sixth-tier division. They put up a good challenge but ultimately fell 3-2 to Grimsby Town on Saturday.
When is the 2025-26 FA Cup fourth round draw?
