Chief Executive Paul Barber said, "We are pleased that the FA and BT Sport have opted to broadcast our match live, it's another bonus from the team's fantastic FA Cup run this season.
"Of course, we understand that some of our fans prefer the traditional 3pm kick-off, but the more successful we are in the cup, the greater interest we can expect from the media, including the TV companies.
"I hope our fans will still turnout in great numbers, and with the Monday night the first day of the half-term holidays, we can still attract a large number of youngsters to the match.
"For some of our younger fans it may be their first opportunity to experience both magic of the FA Cup combined with the special nighttime atmosphere at the Amex."
Meanwhile, Albion's match at Blackburn Rovers has been provisionally scheduled for Tuesday 25th February, kick-off 7.45pm - BUT ONLY if the fifth-round cup tie with Hull City does NOT go to a replay.
Assuming one of the teams advance into the sixth round of the cup on Monday 17th, Albion will travel to Ewood Park. If not the fifth round replay will take priority and instead Albion will face Hull at the KC Stadium on the 25th.
Tickets for Albion's next four home games available now online, at the Amex Ticket Office or via the telephone on 08443271901.
