FA Cup quarter-final dates, kickoff times, television broadcasters confirmed

The dates, kickoff times and television broadcasters have been confirmed for the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Sunday's draw for the last eight revealed who would face who at the back end of March, with the competition regarded as one of its most open in years courtesy of many of the Premier League's biggest teams already being eliminated.

Manchester City are the standout favourites for the competition, even though Pep Guardiola's side have been presented with one of the toughest remaining tests through a trip to Bournemouth.

That contest will conclude the quarter-final lineup, the tie at the Vitality Stadium being broadcast on ITV1 on Sunday, March 30 with a 16:30 (GMT) kickoff.

Fulham's all-London showdown with Crystal Palace will also be shown on the same channel, that game taking place on Saturday March 29 with a 12:15 start time.

Meanwhile, on BBC One, the clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest will be staged later on that day with a 17:15 kickoff.

Aston Villa's trip to Deepdale to take on Preston North End - the solitary Championship side left in the tournament - will take place on March 30 with a kickoff time of 13:30.
