West Ham United women’s team will begin their journey in the 2024/25 Adobe Women’s FA Cup next month.
The Hammers and the eleven other Barclays Women’s Super League sides enter the competition at the fourth-round stage, with 16 ties set to be drawn between the 32 clubs still in the running to reach Wembley Stadium in May 2025 on Monday evening.
Rehanne Skinner’s side will be looking to build on last season’s FA Cup campaign as they exited the competition in the fourth round, following a 3-1 defeat at Chelsea, and hoping to replicate the successes of the 2018/19 season, which saw the Hammers take centre stage at Wembley where they played Manchester City in the final.
When will the fourth round draw take place?
The draw for the fourth round of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup will take place on Monday 9 December at 7pm GMT and will be streamed live on the competition’s official YouTube channel.
The draw, taking place in association with 'She's a Baller', will be held at Night Tales Loft cocktail bar in Hackney, just a few minutes from West Ham United's London Stadium in east London.
Supporters will also be able to tune in on the Women’s FA Cup's official social media channels, while we will be carrying news of the draw right here on whufc.com, our official app and X channel HERE.
What ball number will we be?
West Ham United will be ball number 12.
So, who could we play against?
All 12 WSL teams enter the competition in the fourth round, joining the remaining nine Barclays Women’s Championship teams and a number of Women's National League Premier Division outfits.
The lowest-ranked side remaining is Kidderminster Harriers, who ply their trade in the West Midlands Regional Women's Football League Premier Division. However, they have not guaranteed their place in the fourth round as they will have to beat Championship opponents Blackburn Rovers after their tie at the weekend was postponed.
The draw is open, so West Ham could face the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City or holders Manchester United, or FA Women's National League sides Cheltenham Town, Rugby Borough, Stoke City or Wolverhampton Wanderers.
When will our fourth-round tie take place?
In what is set to be the Hammers’ first fixture of the New Year, fourth-round ties are scheduled to take place on the weekend of 12 January.
A date, kick-off time and ticketing information for our match will be confirmed in due course.
Without getting ahead of ourselves, when will the later rounds be played?
Fifth round: Sunday 9 February 2025
Quarter-finals: Sunday 9 March 2025
Semi-finals: Sunday 13 April 2025
Final: Sunday 18 May 2025 (at Wembley Stadium)
