FA Cup third round TV matches – Official announcement from the FA


 
 
 
 
 
 

Friday has seen an announcement made on FA Cup third round matches to be shown live on UK TV.

An official release (see below) from The FA making this public.

Six FA Cup third round TV matches listed as changed.

With four to be shown on ITV and two on BBC.

Official announcement from The FA – 6 December 2024:

‘The main live broadcast selections for the 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup third round have now been made by the BBC and ITV. Their dates, ties, kick-off times and channels are as follows:

Friday 10 January 2025

• Aston Villa v West Ham United at 8pm GMT on ITV1, ITVX and STV

Saturday 11 January 2025

• Liverpool v Accrington Stanley at 12.15pm GMT on ITV1, ITVX and STV

• Manchester City v Salford City at 5.45pm GMT on BBC One and iPlayer

Sunday 12 January 2025

• Tamworth v Tottenham Hotspur at 12.30pm GMT on ITV1, ITVX and STV

• Arsenal v Manchester United at 3pm GMT on BBC One and iPlayer

Monday 13 January 2025

• Millwall v Dagenham & Redbridge at 7.30pm GMT on ITV4 and ITVX

Each of the sides involved in these main live broadcast selections will receive £85,000 in addition to any payments from the competition’s prize fund.

Further broadcast selections and the full Emirates FA Cup third round schedule will be announced as soon as possible.’

As you can see, Newcastle v Bromley not included in this announcement, however, it does mention ‘further broadcast selections’ will be announced ASAP.

Looking at the Newcastle United schedule below, I can only see the Newcastle v Bromley getting played on the Saturday or Sunday.

On Wednesday 15 January, it is Newcastle v Wolves in the Premier League and that is on TNT Sports already, so that rules out the NUFC FA Cup match getting played on Monday 13 January.

Whilst if Newcastle defeat Brentford in the Carabao Cup, depending on the draw, United could have a home semi-final first leg to play in the midweek before FA Cup third round weekend, meaning Friday 10 January is all but totally ruled out surely, for Newcastle v Bromley.

Newcastle United upcoming matches confirmed to end of January 2025:

Saturday 7 December – Brentford v Newcastle (3pm)

Saturday 14 December – Newcastle v Leicester (3pm)

Wednesday 18 December – Newcastle v Brentford (7.45pm) Sky Sports+ (Carabao Cup)
