FA Cup on TV 2026-2027 - every fixture, your time zone

The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in football, and the one where a non-league side can still draw a Premier League club. Premier League and Championship teams enter in the third round in January, which is where this guide picks it up.

This page lists every 2026-2027 FA Cup fixture with kickoff times converted to your local time and the live TV channel in 30+ countries. FA Cup ties in the UK are shared between the BBC and TNT Sports, with the BBC showing selected matches free-to-air. The channel for each tie is listed here as it is confirmed, alongside coverage in other countries. Pick the countries you care about in the selector above to compare broadcasters side by side - whether you're at home, following from abroad, or just working out when a match starts on your clock.

The UK Saturday 3pm blackout, explained

During the Saturday afternoon closed period - roughly 2:45pm to 5:15pm UK time - no live football may be broadcast on UK television. The rule dates back to UEFA's Article 48 and is intended to protect attendances across the football pyramid. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK as well, which is why this guide lists the channel for each match in every country, not just the UK.

Why isn't a 3pm Saturday game on TV in the UK?

No live football may be broadcast in the UK during the Saturday afternoon closed period (roughly 2:45-5:15pm UK time) - a rule rooted in UEFA's Article 48, meant to protect match attendances. It applies to overseas leagues shown in the UK too, so a FA Cup match in that window won't be live on UK TV, though it is broadcast in other countries.
