New home of the FA Cup

In recent years, TNT Sports secured the rights to broadcast the majority of the FA Cup matches starting this season. In addition to this agreement last year also saw them secure a deal with the Football Association (FA) to broadcast women's games as well.

Scott Young from Warner Bros Discovery Sports Europe expressed his excitement about broadcasting more men's and women's games than ever before. He highlighted that these competitions are steeped in history and underdog heroics which makes it even more thrilling for fans around the world. Apart from showing live matches, TNT sports will premiere a new documentary titled "FA Cup: The People’s Story" on Friday, January 10th which unravels triumphs, heartbreaks & untold stories from this historic tournament showcasing how it became a stage where sport & society intersected.

Moreover, TNT Sports will also broadcast an Emirates FA Cup edition of the Goals Show Extra on Saturday, January 10th from 12 pm. This show will capture every goal from around the grounds, including all 10 matches kicking off at 3 pm. The show will be hosted by Matt Smith alongside Steve McManaman and Fara Williams with pundits and journalists from across the country.
