Will there be replays of the FA Cup quarter-finals?
The 2022/23 FA Cup quarter-finals will not feature replays. The previous round (round of 16) was the first phase of this season’s tournament that did not include replays for tied games.
Replays were slowly removed from the FA Cup, starting with the final and now including the round of 16.
In 1998/99 the English FA waived replays in the final and a year later in the semi-finals. It took a few years before quarterfinal replays were eliminated (2016/17) and the 5th round (Round of 16) was the last round where replays were eliminated in 2018/19.
Instead of a replay, teams drawn after 90 minutes of their quarter-finals go into 30-minute overtime, followed by a penalty shootout if necessary.
