How To Watch The FA Cup In Australia

ESPN currently have the rights to broadcast the FA Cup in Australia with plenty of ways for fans to tune in to games via Foxtel, Fetch TV and Kayo Sports. 

Streaming service Kayo is perhaps the best option for football fans with a 14-day free trial available for new customers and one-month plans starting from $25. 

Kayo also makes full replays of games available and often cuts up mini versions of big matches to save you sitting through a full 90 minutes if short on time. 

This weekend, only eight of the FA Cup's 32 games will be shown by ESPN however, so read on to see which will be shown and when they kick off.
