Liverpool has been assigned as the At home team for the cup match, which will take place in January.
The Reds will join the rest of the Premier League and enter the competition in the third round, aiming to progress beyond last season’s fourth round.
When will Liverpool vs. Barnsley place?
The third round of the FA Cup will be played on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, January 10 and 11.
It will be Liverpool’s fourth game of 2026, following the trip to Arsenal in the Premier League on Thursday, January 8.
For that reason, it is likely that the Reds’ match will take place on Sunday.
It will be a busy start to the year for Liverpool, who face Leeds, Fulham and Arsenal in the first eight days of the month.
Last season, Slot’s men were eliminated in the fourth round after a narrow defeat at Plymouth.
Will Arne Slot be in charge?
Slot currently has the backing of Liverpool’s hierarchy, but the TimesPaul Joyce stated that “patience will not be limitless” and that “the results will ultimately determine the future of Slot.”
The report came after Mo Salah’s bombastic comments, which put an even brighter spotlight on the problems at Anfield, where Liverpool have won just 11 of their last 22 games.
Any decision on Slot’s future will have nothing to do with Salah’s comments, but the pressure to oversee the turnaround, in performance and results, remains.
