The BBC and BT Sport have retained the rights to The FA Cup until
2021, after the broadcasters reached agreement with the FA to extend
their shared coverage of the competition for another three years.
BT Sport will broadcast more FA Cup matches than ever from 2018/19,
when they will show an extra live match in Rounds 1-5 of the
competition, covering up to 30 matches exclusively live each year.
From next season, fans will be able to enjoy enhanced FA Cup coverage in Ultra HD and on the BT Sport app.
The new deal will also see an enhanced commitment to women’s football from both the BBC and BT.
The BBC will offer live coverage of international qualifiers, the
Women’s FA Cup final, plus one England Women’s friendly match per season
alongside additional live matches and The FA Women’s Super League
highlights.
BT Sport will remain the exclusively live broadcaster of The FA
Women’s Super League and from 2018 will show both Women’s FA Cup
semi-finals exclusively live, the Women’s FA Cup Final and England
Senior Women’s home friendlies.
