Luton FA Cup date confirmed

The date and time of AFC Bournemouth’s Emirates FA Cup third round tie with Luton Town has now been confirmed.

The Cherries will face the Championship side at Vitality Stadium on Saturday 4th January with kick-off at 5.31pm.

The reason behind the 5.31pm start time is due to the game being broadcast overseas.

All FA Cup third round kick-offs are also being delayed by one minute to promote mental health awareness as part of the Heads Up campaign.

Kick-off will be delayed to encourage fans to consider the positive impact 60 seconds can have on their own mental wellbeing, or that of a friend or family member.

Ticket details for the fixture with the Hatters will be announced in due course.
