FA Cup replays will return up to and including the fourth round for the upcoming season, the Football Association has confirmed. The FA had already confirmed the FA Cup fourth round would take place on the weekend of February 4 to 7, later than usual because of the extra international break being held between January 24 and February 1. The FA Cup, like the Carabao Cup, faces a longer-term threat from the plans to revamp Europe's club competitions. The Football Association wrote to UEFA in March to express concern about the impact its plans would have on the domestic football calendar. The Premier League has also lobbied for January to remain clear for domestic football only.
