Round 4 of the FA Cup continues this week. Fans of English football will be treated to 16 more matches, featuring teams from every league in the game from January 22-25.
The knockout tournament was first played in the 1871-72 season, making the FA Cup the oldest football tournament in the world. It pits all 92 professional teams in the Premier League and English Football Leagues against one another to determine the best team of them all.
There's one more full round after Round 4. Once Round 5 is played in mid-February, we've got the quarter-finals in March, the semifinals in April, and then the FA Cup final to watch on May 15, 2021. Basically, there's still loads of football to go.
Here's how you can watch every single game in Round 4 of the FA Cup.
