Liverpool and Chelsea are set to play on the same night with the Reds facing Southampton on ITV at 8pm.
The Blues will have to settle for ITV4 when they play Leeds, with kick-off at 7:30pm.
ITV4 will also host non-league minnows Maidstone for their trip to Coventry on Monday February 26.
While the all-Premier League clash between Luton and Manchester City takes place on February 27 on ITV One.
The final tie to be aired on a linear channel is Blackburn v Newcastle, which also takes place on February 27 on BBC One.
The 12 clubs that are involved in live broadcast ties on the BBC and ITV’s linear channels will receive a £125,000 fee, and the four clubs that are participating in live broadcast ties on BBC iPlayer will receive a £55,000 fee.
