"There is certainly a lot of football to be played between now and then, half a dozen games or so, so it is a long way off. But it should be a good advert for League Two football and Exeter City."
The St James's Park fixture was originally scheduled to be played on Saturday, January 26.
Tickets for January's Monday-night game will be available to buy on the day of the match to home fans.
The Grecians have not hosted the Sky Sports cameras for a live fixture since the 3-1 Carling Cup defeat against Liverpool in August 2011.
