Leicester City VS Southampton will therefore be BT Sport's last FA Cup match. There first was AFC Wimbledon v Coventry City on the 8th November 2013 - https://www.bt.com/sport/watch/video/cli...try-city-3.

[Brekkie]

Well they'll have the final as well. Will be back to the old days next year with the final on the BBC and ITV - and ITV likely getting trounced.

Ah yes. Last exclusive match then I should have said.

Why on earth do ITV show it - they know they’ll lose out every time so surely they’re better providing an alternative.

The advertisers still pay the full fee, whether ITV get trounced or not.

ITV would be better off having every other final exclusively but can't see the BBC agreeing to that.

And obviously they'll get more money for ad time during a football match than they would for ad time in Tipping Point or Tenable.

Is the FA Cup Final on the 17th?

Is the FA Cup Final on the 17th?

No, it's on the 15th.

[thegeek]

It looks like they've shuffled a couple of rounds around in order to accommodate Chelsea v Leicester on the 15th - they were scheduled to meet in the league that weekend too.

Matches originally scheduled for the midweek round on the 11th & 12th are now mostly on 15th & 16th, and the fixtures from the weekend of the 15th are now on the midweek round on the 19th. The final Sunday remains unchanged. There also seem to be a few catch-up matches from earlier in the season.

(I also see there are a couple of Sunday 14.05 KOs coming up - that's unusual, isn't it?)
