How to watch ties involving Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool on TV and live stream

The FA Cup is really starting to heat up as we approach the fifth round of this year’s competition.

There have already been giant killings, last-minute drama and blockbuster clashes, with much more to come in the next few months as sides battle it out for a spot in the final at Wembley Stadium in May.

While the lower league clubs remaining in the competition are simply enjoying the ride, the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and holders Manchester City are all looking for glory, hopeful of bolstering their stacked trophy cabinets.

Here is how you can watch the 2023/24 FA Cup fifth round on TV and live stream.

The fifth round of the 2023/24 FA Cup takes place over three days between 26-28 February.

Unlike past games in the FA Cup, fifth-round ties won’t be taking place over a weekend, instead being played during the week from Monday to Wednesday.

Luckily for supporters, every single FA Cup fifth-round clash will be televised in some capacity, with all matches being shown live on BBC and ITV in the United Kingdom.

The first match will take place on Monday night, with Coventry City vs Maidstone United kicking off the fifth round on ITV as the sixth-tier visitors look for another scalp.

Bournemouth vs Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers vs Newcastle United will be broadcast on the BBC on Tuesday evening, while ITV have the rights to an all-Premier League clash in Luton Town vs Manchester City.

Wednesday will offer the remaining four games of the fifth round, with Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United one of the standout ties on the BBC. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion will be broadcast on BBC iPlayer.

Liverpool vs Southampton poses an interesting match-up after the Saints eliminated fellow Championship side Watford in a replay to book their trip to Anfield. The channel and kick-off time is yet to be officially confirmed for Chelsea vs Leeds United, but the fixture will take place on ITV.
