Saturday FA Cup open thread
Today at 05:00 AM
Magic of the Cup, innit?
Happy Saturday, everyone! The Premier League gets a breather this weekend because it's FA CUP TIME! The early rounds of the FA Cup are great because it provides an incredible opportunity to watch a whole bunch of clubs you'd never get to see otherwise. At least if you're American, that is. All FA Cup matches are streamed on ESPN+ in the USA (and that will also be true for Tamworth vs. Tottenham tomorrow), so you'll have plenty of options from which to choose.
If you're in the UK... well. I still think it's weird that we can watch more football 7500 miles away from England than the English can. Sorry, y'all. Find a good VPN and get an ESPN+ subscription, I guess.
The FA Cup schedule for today is below. I've added UK TV channels that I'm aware of, and also any Tottenham players on loan at clubs in action. Have fun! Enjoy the Magic!
