This month, football’s oldest knockout competitions take centre stage on TNT Sports with coverage of the Men’s FA Cup Third Round and Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round. With 26 live games scheduled across ten days, TNT Sports is bringing more live coverage than ever before.
Twenty-two men’s matches will be shown live as Third Round fever kicks off 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. Adding to the occasion, the FA Cup Fourth Round draw will be live from Anfield ahead of kick-off on TNT Sports 1, discovery+ and the TNT Sports YouTube channel.
The spotlight then turns to the Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round 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 blockbuster 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+.
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+.”
On Friday 9 January TNT Sports will also premiere a new documentary; ‘FA Cup: The People’s Story’, unravelling the triumphs, heartbreaks and untold stories of the historic tournament. It will also broadcast a special FA Cup edition of the Goals Show Extra on Saturday 10 January from 12:00 GMT, capturing every goal from around the grounds, including all ten matches kicking off at 15:00 GMT.
