where can i watch the fa cup draw

You can watch the FA Cup draw live on TNT Sports in the UK and via official streams such as discovery+ and the TNT Sports Football YouTube channel, with coverage tied into the live match being played that evening. In the US and some international regions, broadcasters like ESPN or local rights holders carry the draw, often alongside their FA Cup match coverage or via digital streaming platforms.

Main ways to watch

  • UK (TV & streaming)
    • TNT Sports 1 is showing the FA Cup fourth‑round draw live as part of its build‑up to the Liverpool v Barnsley tie.
* The draw is also available on **discovery+** for subscribers, using the TNT Sports channels feed.

* TNT Sports’ official **YouTube** channel is streaming the draw for free, so you can watch even without a pay‑TV sub, as long as regional restrictions allow.
  • US & international
    • In the United States, coverage of the FA Cup draw is carried by ESPN , integrated into its FA Cup match programming and streaming on its digital platform where it holds rights.
* In other countries, the draw usually appears on whoever owns FA Cup rights locally (for example, some outlets point fans to YouTube streams where available), so checking the FA Cup section on your usual football broadcaster or app just before the draw time is recommended.

Timing and context

  • The current FA Cup fourth‑round draw is scheduled for Monday 12 January 2026 at around 6:30–6:35 p.m. GMT , shortly before the Liverpool vs Barnsley third‑round game at Anfield.
  • Pre‑match coverage on TNT Sports starts around 6:30 p.m. GMT , with the draw itself happening a few minutes later as part of that show.

Extra viewing options

  • Clubs involved in the tie hosting the draw, such as Liverpool, sometimes promote the event to fans, including watching from fan zones at the stadium alongside live music and build‑up activities.
  • Independent fan channels and commentators often run live “watch‑along” streams on platforms like YouTube, providing alternative commentary synced to the official draw broadcast, though they do not control the draw themselves.
