FA Cup Fourth Round TV Broadcast Guide: Every Live Game This Weekend
The FA Cup returns to screens this weekend, with the fourth round featuring 11 fixtures broadcast live across BBC and TNT Sports platforms. After a dramatic third round that saw holders Crystal Palace stunned by non-league Macclesfield in one of the competition's biggest upsets, 32 teams are back in action, aiming to advance toward the Wembley final later this year.
New TV Deal and Broadcasting Changes
A new television agreement has taken effect this season, with TNT Sports and discovery+ showcasing every FA Cup third-round match, except those affected by the traditional Saturday 3pm blackout. The BBC has secured rights to two televised fixtures this weekend, both airing on Saturday. Notably, ITV will not broadcast any FA Cup games after the BBC partnered with TNT Sports, the primary rights holder, in a four-year deal to co-exclusively air 14 matches per season.
