It will show 22 men’s Emirates FA Cup Third Round matches and four Adobe Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round fixtures across TNT Sports and discovery+
TNT Sports has revealed its schedule of matches from the Emirates FA Cup Third Round and Adobe Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round.
It will show 26 live games in total across 10 days, including 22 live men’s matches with three Friday night fixtures, headlined by Wrexham vs Nottingham Forest. The action culminates on Monday 12 January, with defending Premier League champions Liverpool hosting League One challengers Barnsley at Anfield.
Its coverage of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round starts on Thursday 15 January, with third tier English club West Bromwich Albion hosting Women’s Super League side Everton, before concluding on Sunday 18 January with a clash between 14-time Women’s FA Cup winners Arsenal and Aston Villa. The four live matches will be shown on TNT Sports and streamed on discovery+.
In 2024, TNT Sports won the rights to show the majority of the FA Cup matches, starting this season, and last year also agreed a deal with the FA to broadcast the women’s FA Cup.
Scott Young, EVP Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “We are excited to broadcast more FA Cup men’s and women’s games than ever before, capturing the very essence of this world-renowned cup competition. As Premier League, Championship, and Women’s Super League teams enter, the stage is set for those classic David vs. Goliath encounters.
“These are competitions steeped in history and underdog heroics, and TNT Sports is proud to provide unprecedented access to matches from across both, helping deliver greater exposure to clubs throughout the football pyramid. We invite fans to join us as these clubs begin their journeys to Wembley with TNT Sports and discovery+.”
As well as showing the live matches, TNT Sports will also premiere a new documentary – FA Cup: The People’s Story – on Friday 10 January.
TNT Sports says the film “unravels the triumphs, heartbreaks, and untold stories of the historic tournament, showcasing how it became a stage where sport and society intersected, capturing the spirit of a nation through the beautiful game”.
TNT Sports will also broadcast an Emirates FA Cup edition of the Goals Show Extra on Saturday 10 January from 12pm, capturing every goal from around the grounds, including all 10 matches kicking off at 3pm.
The show will be hosted by Matt Smith alongside Steve McManaman and Fara Williams with pundits and journalists from across the country.
