Hide AdDerby will now travel to the PTS Academy Stadium for the fourth-round tie with Town later in the month. Rooney, who played for Manchester United and Everton, officially signed for County as a player-coach in January.
The former England captain has already played at Sixfields when his Man United side ran out 3-1 winners over the Cobblers in the League Cup third-round in 2016.
Cobblers and Derby last met way back in 1967, some 53 years ago, when the Rams won 4-3 in Division Two.
Fourth-round ties will take place over the weekend of January 24-27, which means Northampton's scheduled League Two clash at Cheltenham on January 25 will be rearranged.
