SAINTS will now visit Watford in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, January 28 (2PM), with the fixture selected for overseas broadcast.
The St Mary's side had been due to visit Vicarage Road on Saturday, January 27, after domestic television services did not select the fixture.
However, the match - between two sides who drew 1-1 in the Championship in December - has been chosen for international broadcasting.
Saints progressed to the fourth round with a convincing 4-0 win over League Two Walsall, while the Hornets overcame a scare to beat National League Chesterfield 2-1.
A Saints statement issued states: "Tickets will go on sale to eligible season ticket holders on Monday, January 16, with full information available on our website."
Hampshire outfit Eastleigh are due to face 12-time winners Manchester United at the Silverlake on Sunday, January 28, if they progress to the fourth round.
Richard Hill's side must first defeat League Two Newport County in Tuesday's replay, following their 1-1 draw at Rodney Parade.
The winners of Eastleigh vs Newport County will face Manchester United live on BBC One on the Sunday at 4:30PM.
If they succeed, there is likely to be ticket demand from supporters of both clubs who live in the Southampton and Hampshire area.
