Town's trip to Stamford Bridge will be live on the BBC

Luton Town's FA Cup fourth round trip to Premier League Chelsea will be shown live on BBC One next weekend.

As a result, the Stamford Bridge clash will take place on Sunday, January 24, with a midday kick-off.

The FA has confirmed that all 16 fourth round fixtures will be broadcast live, with five on the BBC and 11 on BT Sport.

Town will pick up an £85,000 broadcast fee, which will take their total earnings from the competition so far to £184,000 in total, as they gained £61,500 for beating Reading in the third round, an an extra £37,500 after it was shown live on BT Sport Extra Six.

Should they defeat Frank Lampard's side, it will earn the Hatters an extra £90,000 from the FA prize fund.
