When is the FA Cup semi final draw 2024? Date, time, fixture schedule for Wembley matches image

We have reached the business end of the 2023/24 FA Cup campaign as the quarterfinals take place this weekend.

Manchester City defeated Newcastle United on Saturday to secure their place in the final four, after Coventry City had stunned Wolves with a late turnaround in their tie. Manchester United took the last place in the final four after a remarkable 4-3 win over Liverpool, after Chelsea had earlier beaten Leicester City 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.

The semifinals are set to take place at Wembley Stadium in London next month, which has become the normal venue for these games in recent years after previously only being reserved for the final itself. But when will we know who will play who at England's so-called 'home of football'?

The Sporting News takes a look at when the draw for the FA Cup semifinals took place and the key dates for the rest of the tournament.

Are there FA Cup replays this season?

The FA stipulated that there will be mandatory replays for games that end in draws up to and including the Fourth Round in 2023/24.

Widespread reports in October suggested that plans to scrap replays in the Third and Fourth Rounds could be introduced as early as the 2024/25 season.
