When is the FA Cup first round?

The first round centres around Saturday, November 7 with games likely to be played across Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday night.

How many games will be live on TV?

Based on last season’s first round, which was the first year of a new TV contract, eight matches will be available live on TV.

Which channel will they be on?

TNT Sports will show all eight live, but it’s likely the BBC will also show two of them. The BBC have an agreement with TNT to show a number of games free-to-air. Although the BBC use TNT’s match coverage pictures they have their own separate presenters, reporters, commentators and build-up and after-match coverage.

What are the likely time slots for the TV games?

Last year’s TV games were at Friday 7.30pm, Saturday 12noon and 5.30pm, Sunday 12noon, 2.15pm, 3pm and 5.15pm and Monday 7.30pm. There are likely to be similar TV slots again this season, but they won’t necessarily be the exact same kick-off times.

When will the TV games be confirmed?

Based on previous seasons, it’s likely the first round schedule will be confirmed by the end of the week (Friday, October 23). Keep an eye on FOOTIE ON TV‘s social media channels to see them when they are announced.

How much does each club get for being on TV?

Last season each club featured in a live TV game received a £50,000 broadcast fee.

When is the final?

The final will take place at Wembley on Sunday, March 22.

What channel is it on?

The match is live on both Sky Sports and ITV 1 in the UK.

Will Sky and ITV have their own teams covering the match?

Although Sky hold the UK TV rights for the Carabao Cup and screen every game from the competition live, they struck a deal with ITV that the free-to-air broadcaster could show ten games a season from the tournament.

ITV use Sky’s live match pictures for those games in the run-up to the final, but have their own commentators, presenters, pundits, reporters and pre and after-match coverage and their own branded graphics. However, last season for the final itself, ITV took a straight simulcast of Sky’s coverage so that could well happen again this season. It might be this is part of the agreement as having Sky’s full broadcast on ITV gives the subscription service a huge bonus of promoting its others sports and programmes to a free-to-air audience.
