The FA Cup 2018-19 on TV - all you need to know



More live TV matches are being shown this season from the FA Cup than ever before.

The extra TV games are part of a new three-year contract with the Football Association and BBC Sport and BT Sport which sees the two broadcasters continue to share coverage of the competition.

It means some rounds will have as many as six live TV games with four on BT and another two on the BBC.

In all, up to 46 matches will be shown live from the first round proper onwards - as many as 30 on BT Sport and up to 16 on the BBC. These include replays from each round of the competition.

Both channels will screen the final with the pair broadcasting one semi-final each.

Highlights will again be available through Match of the Day, the BBC Sport website as well as BT Sport's website and both broadcasters' social media channels.

The BBC's "live goals" show in rounds one and two (where eight matches are moved to a Sunday afternoon kick-off) will continue.

The BBC has already been showing one game online on a Saturday lunchtime from the grassroots rounds including the extra preliminary round and qualifying rounds. These matches have also been available via the BBC Sport app and via connected smart TVs.

As a result of the new TV deal, extra prize money will be on offer from the winners in every round from the grassroots to the final.
