🇬🇧 FA Cup: TV channel, kick-off times and live streaming in the UK

The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, played without interruption since 1871 apart from the war years, and its principle has never changed: every affiliated club enters, from the Premier League giant to the village side, and a single match settles it - no two legs, no protected seeds. That is what produces, every winter, the ties the rest of football never manufactures: a sixth-tier club hosting Manchester City on a heavy pitch in front of four thousand people. Arsenal hold the record for wins, ahead of Manchester United; the final is played at Wembley and remains one of the most watched dates in the English calendar. The winner earns a European place, which gives real stakes to a competition one might have thought merely folkloric. Rounds are played on weekend afternoons, British time.
