More live FA Cup games than ever before as BT & BBC seal new deal



More live FA Cup TV games will be screened than ever before after the BBC and BT Sport agreed a three-year extension to their current deal.

This is what it means from the 2018-19 season:
> up to 30 games and replays will be screened on BT and the BBC from rounds one to the final
> BT will screen an extra live match in rounds one to five of the competition than they currently do under the existing deal.

In addition to the FA Cup, the Football Association has also thrashed out further deals with BT and BBC which will see:
> BBC providing live coverage of international England women's qualifiers, the Women's FA Cup final, FA Women's Super League highlights.
> BT will remain the live home of the FA Women's Super League and will screen both the Women's FA Cup semi-finals as well as the final and England women's home friendlies.
> BT will also continue to show live England men's U17, U19 and U21 matches.
