When is the FA Cup final on TV
The final will be shown live in the UK and us this weekend.
Sat 17 May
- Crystal Palace vs Man City – Ko 4.30pm BST/11.30AM EDT/8.30AM PDT – BBC and ITV (UK), ESPN+ (US)
How to view the FA Cup final in the UK
The FA Cup rights are divided this year between the BBC and ITV, with both showing the last live.
These channels can be viewed for free, but only if you have a TV license. This currently costs £ 174.50 a year and is a requirement if you watch a live TV or use BBC IPLayer.
Once that is sorted, just navigate to BBC One on your TV or go to IPLayer to stream football. For ITV, the competition is shown live on ITV1, or you can go via ITVX (formerly ITV Hub) to stream it.
Catching up ITV content is exempt from the TV license, but you need one if you look live.
How to view the FA Cupfinal in the US
In the US, the FA Cup is only available via ESPN+, which means that you have to pay a subscription. Although it is available via cable TV, it is much easier to pay for it yourself.
Paying $ 11.99 for the entrance of one month is the most logical, but $ 119.99 brings you the channel for a whole year. ESPN+ is also the place to view many other sporting events, so it might be worth it for you.
You can now register via the ESPN website.
