The Irish Cup sixth-round game between Limavady United and Linfield will be shown live on BBC Sport NI.

The Roesiders, who are second in the Championship, will welcome the reigning Irish Premiership champions to the Coleraine Showgrounds on Friday 6 February (19:45 GMT).

Limavady booked their spot in the next round with a commanding 4-1 win over Lisburn Rangers on Saturday, while the Blues beat Bangor 1-0 in an all-Premiership encounter at Windsor Park.

Linfield are chasing a record-extending 45th Irish Cup triumph and first since 2021 after being knocked out in the sixth round by Glentoran last season.

The game will be live-streamed on the BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport NI website and BBC Sport app.

There are four rescheduled Irish Cup fifth-round games taking place on Tuesday night after falling victim to wintry conditions last weekend.

Ballinamallard United host Institute, Glenavon entertain Newington and Portadown take on neighbours Annagh United (all 19:45 GMT), while Warrenpoint Town face Lisburn (20:00 GMT).
