2 FA Cup quarterfinals moved to ESPN television – World Soccer Talk
ESPN has decided to move two high-profile FA Cup quarterfinals to its flagship network.
Previously, all of the FA Cup matches have been on ESPN+, but with the lack of live sports on U.S. television, ESPN has decided to elevate the Norwich-Manchester United and Sheffield United-Arsenal matches to its main sports TV network.
As of press time, the plan is to make those two matches available on ESPN+ as well as the other two quarterfinals which feature Leicester City-Chelsea and Newcastle United-Manchester City.
The trend of making some matches available on television that were previously slotted for ESPN+ includes the Serie A and Coppa Italia.
Here’s the TV and streaming schedule for viewers in the United States (all kickoff times listed are in the Eastern United States timezone):
Saturday, June 27
Norwich vs. Manchester United (FA Cup quarterfinal), 12:30pm, ESPN, Sling Orange, Hulu + Live TV, Vidgo, AT&T TV and ESPN+
Sunday, June 28
Sheffield United vs. Arsenal (FA Cup quarterfinal), 8am, ESPN, Sling Orange, Hulu + Live TV, Vidgo, AT&T TV and ESPN+
