The FA Cup third-round tie between League Two AFC Wimbledon and Liverpool will be screened live on the BBC.
The match at Kingsmeadow will take place on Monday, 5 January, kick-off 19:55 GMT.
The BBC will also screen live the tie between Arsenal and Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, 4 January, kick-off 17:30 GMT.
The Gunners beat Steve Bruce's side 3-2 after extra time in last season's FA Cup final .
'The quirk of the fixture list has presented a unique opportunity to have an extended three days of FA Cup coverage on BBC One,' Mark Cole, Lead Executive of Football, BBC Sport said.
'Saturday is a chance for any of the 32 teams in action to grab the spotlight on Match of the Day, while we've got six hours of coverage on Sunday to chart the progress of the 14 games.
'Add in Monday's big game at AFC Wimbledon, preceded by the draw for the fourth round and it's a great way to kick of our FA Cup Month, where there's content every day across the BBC.'
Wimbledon and Liverpool met in the 1988 final, with the Dons pulling off a shock 1-0 win. The club was moved north to Milton Keynes in 2004.
Radio 5 live and 5 live Sports Extra will have live commentary from at least nine third-round games, and five Match of the Day FA Cup highlights shows are also planned for January.
