Newcastle United will be ball number 27 when the draw for the third round of the 2023/24 FA Cup takes place on Sunday

The Magpies join other clubs from the Premier League and Championship in entering the competition at this stage, with the draw due to take place at around 12:55pm GMT during ITV's coverage of the second round tie between Eastleigh and Reading.

Third round fixtures will take place across the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th January 2024.

Newcastle - who have won the FA Cup six times, most recently in 1955 - will be looking to progress beyond the third round for the first time in four years.

They were knocked out by then-League One Sheffield Wednesday at this stage last term, having exited at the hands of Cambridge United from the same division in the previous season.

And in 2020/21, they were beaten by Arsenal. The Magpies were, however, quarter-finalists in the Covid-interrupted 2019/20 campaign but lost to Manchester City in the last eight.

This season's third round ball numbers are:
