How to watch FA Cup live streams from anywhere in the world

The FA Cup trophy How to watch FA Cup live streams.

Reliable FA Cup live streams are essential for the 2023/24 season, and FourFourTwo has you covered on how to watch each round of the competition, all the way to the final at Wembley on May 25, 2024.

The semi-finals of the FA Cup are here, meaning there's just four teams remaining and fighting for a place at the showpiece event next month. Each side will have a taste of what that game will be like, too, with the semis also being hosted at Wembley.

On Saturday, Manchester City and Chelsea face off, with Pep Guardiola's side looking to retain their crown from last season. After Champions League disappointment in mid-week, this also presents a great opportunity to get straight back on track. Chelsea, though, will prove difficult customers, as they attempt to overcome their defeat in the League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley earlier in the season.

In the other tie, on Sunday, Manchester United take on Championship side Coventry City. Fresh from dumping Wolves out of the Cup in the quarters with a mesmerising 4-3 victory, Coventry boss Mark Robbins will want to overcome the side he turned out for in his player career.

But with Erik ten Hag under pressure, and against lower-league opposition, all the pressure will be on Manchester United to perform. 

Both FA Cup games will have live coverage in the UK.

The FA Cup TV rights in the UK are held by both BBC and ITV, with the broadcasters showing each round of the competition until the final on May 25.

VPN Guide

Use a VPN to watch the FA Cup from outside your country

Use a VPN to watch FA Cup football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of FA Cup fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch all of the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
