FAQ

Citable answers

How do I watch the FA Cup live for free in the UK?

BBC iPlayer (BBC One/Two) and ITVX share free-to-air UK FA Cup coverage, with TNT Sports also broadcasting live ties across each round through to the Wembley Final.

Are there FA Cup replays from the First Round Proper onwards?

No. Under current FA Cup rules, replays are scrapped from the First Round Proper onwards — ties go straight to extra time and penalties on the night.

Is Premier League free on BBC iPlayer?

BBC iPlayer streams free Premier League highlights via Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2, plus live Women's Super League (WSL) matches. Live men's Premier League matches require Sky Sports or TNT Sports.
