Read our preview of the action below.
Heidelberg United v Western Sydney Wanderers

Kick-off: 7.30pm AEST
Venue: Olympic Village
Broadcast: Paramount+
Tickets
Heidelberg United will have to shake off recent disappointment against Avondale in the league - and against South Melbourne in the Dockerty Cup Final - to lift themselves for a blockbuster clash against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Heidelberg knocked out the Central Coast Mariners in the Cup last year and have the opportunity to do the same against the Wanderers on Tuesday.
If they are to advance, it would be the fifth time in their history that they have reached the quarter-finals of the Cup. They have never progressed further than the last eight.
Heidelberg defeated Weston Bears 2-0 to reach this stage, with goals from Asahi Yokokawa and Max Bisetto, while the Wanderers defeated Peninsula Power 3-0.
The Wanderers were defeated at this stage of the competition by NPL NSW side APIA Leichhardt in 2021, but will hope to advance and keep themselves in the running for their first-ever Hahn Australia Cup.
Brisbane City v Olympic Kingsway
Tuesday, 12 August
Kick-off: 7.30pm AEST
Venue: Imperial Corp Stadium
Broadcast: 10Play or the Football Australia YouTube Channel

History will be made on Tuesday evening as either Brisbane City or Olympic Kingsway advance further than they ever have in the Hahn Australia Cup.
Brisbane City overcame local rivals Olympic FC 2-0 in the Round of 32 to reach this stage of the tournament and will again have the right to host against West Australia’s Kingsway.
However, it is Olympic Kingsway who turned the most heads in the last round. The team, who currently sit second in NPL WA, defeated A-League Men’s team Melbourne Victory 4-3 and wrote their names into Cup folklore.
Hahn Australia Cup all-time leading goal scorer Liam Boland scored the important penalty in extra-time after earlier affecting a stoppage time equaliser. He will be the player to watch once again as he hopes to help lift his side to the quarter-finals.
Brisbane City will have the advantage of hometown support in a game that looks to be incredibly difficult to call.
