Every FA Cup tie taking place today and how to watch on TV - Arsenal, Man Utd, West Ham
FA Cup third round action continues on Sunday with a jam-packed day of football with a number of clubs aiming to cause upsets and seal their place in Monday night's draw.
Everything you need to know about Sunday's FA Cup third round fixtures after Saturday's rollercoaster day of football...
- A shift in broadcasting: This season marks a major change in how the FA Cup is being televised in the UK owing to a new commercial deal. TNT Sports has become the primary broadcaster - leading to a significant reduction in matches shown on free-to-air television.
- BBC and ITV status: The BBC's coverage has been scaled back to just 14 games across the competition, including two matches per round up to the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, ITV has completely relinquished its broadcasting rights - meaning it no longer shows any live FA Cup fixtures.
- Comprehensive streaming: Fans can access almost every single game through the discovery+ streaming platform. Aside from the traditional Saturday 3pm "blackout" period, every fixture is available to stream live for subscribers.
- The giant killers: This weekend has already delivered some historic upsets - most notably non-league Macclesfield defeating Premier League side Crystal Palace 2-1. Other underdogs like Wrexham have also progressed, maintaining the tournament's reputation for unpredictable "cup-set" drama.
