The all-Premiership showdown between Glenavon and Crusaders in the Samuel Gelston’s Whiskey Irish Cup will be shown live on the BBC.
The glamour clash has been selected for live coverage on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport NI website on Friday night, January 7.
Crusaders reached the semi-finals of last season's Irish Cup before losing out to Larne at Mourneview Park.
That game ended in controversy following a contentious penalty shootout.
Glenavon - who last won the cup in 2016 - didn't make it past the first round as they were beaten 2-1 by Dungannon Swifts.
Crusaders' last success in the competition was two years ago when they beat Ballinamallard United in the final.
