The Challenge Cup fourth round draw will take place tonight, and here is everything you need to know about how, where and when to listen to it.
Listen is the key word in that sentence, as much like the third round, there will be no live stream for fans to watch the draw take place.
Instead, the ties will be picked out on the radio, as Super League clubs learn their fate regarding who they will face as the road to Wembley heats up.
