Holders Chelsea will face either London City Lionesses or Tottenham Hotspur in the Women's FA Cup quarterfinals after defeating Manchester United 2-1 after extra time on Sunday. Manchester City secured a matchup against former champions Birmingham City, who won the cup in 2012 but were relegated from the WSL in 2022.

Arsenal will travel to Brighton after cruising past Bristol City 3-0 in the fifth round. The draw sets up intriguing matchups, with Charlton Athletic - currently undefeated in WSL 2 and nine points clear at the top - facing Liverpool, who sit 11th in the WSL table, just one point above the relegation zone.

The quarterfinals are scheduled for April 4-5, with the final set for Wembley Stadium on May 30. Birmingham City's promotion push adds extra spice to their clash with Manchester City, while Charlton's potential WSL promotion battle makes their tie against Liverpool particularly compelling. These matchups highlight the growing competitiveness across England's women's soccer pyramid.
