FA CUP ON TV FROM NEXT SEASON
There are big changes coming to FA Cup coverage next season. TNT Sports has agreed an exclusive deal with the Football Association which will see more games shown on TV than ever before – TNT has pledged to screen every game outside the 3pm Saturday ‘blackout’ period. However, the BBC has struck an agreement with TNT to show 14 matches each season – two games from each round through to the quarter-finals as well as showing one semi-final and the final. The BBC games will also be on TNT. The final has to be made free-to-air under UK broadcast legislation as one of sport’s “protected” events.
ITV – who currently share the rights with the BBC – will have no FA Cup games from next season.
