US Trends

where to watch man city vs salford city

You can watch Man City vs Salford City on different platforms depending on where you are; below is a clear rundown based on current listings and major broadcasters.

Quick Scoop

  • In many regions this is an FA Cup tie, so rights usually sit with ESPN/Disney in the US and local FA Cup partners elsewhere.
  • Some countries show it exclusively via streaming apps rather than traditional TV channels.
  • UK viewers often get caught by the 3 pm “blackout” rule, meaning the game may not be shown live domestically even if it is available abroad.

Where to watch – by region

United States

Most reliable legal options:

  • ESPN+ / ESPN app – Main streaming home for FA Cup games in the US, carrying Man City vs Salford City as a live stream.
  • Fubo / Fubo USA – Also listed as carrying the match live in the US, often via ESPN feeds or dedicated soccer channels.
  • Some listings also mention ESPN Deportes and ESPN Select for Spanish-language or alternate coverage, depending on your cable/streaming package.

To watch, you typically need:

  1. An active subscription to ESPN+ or Fubo (trial offers sometimes available).
  1. The app installed on your smart TV, streaming stick (Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast), console, or mobile device.

Canada

  • Current listings show SN Now (Sportsnet Now) carrying Salford City @ Manchester City as a live streaming event.
  • You watch it directly in the SN Now app or website with a subscription that includes FA Cup coverage.

UK and Ireland

This is the awkward one:

  • Some recent FA Cup fixtures at 3 pm Saturday involving Man City and Salford have not been shown live in the UK because of the domestic broadcast blackout.
  • Fans in the UK in those cases could not legally watch a live TV/stream of the match, and instead had to follow:
    • Live text and in‑app updates via the Official Man City app/website.
* Audio commentary and later full‑match replays or highlights on club platforms and highlights shows.

So if this fixture is scheduled in that blackout window again, there may be no legal live UK broadcast , even though it is available abroad.

Other international options

Depending on your country, the match can appear on:

  • Regional sports networks or FA Cup rights‑holders listed on schedule sites such as LiveSoccerTV and similar, which aggregate official broadcasters and streaming links.
  • In some territories, a single OTT service (for example a local equivalent to ESPN+ or DAZN) holds the FA Cup rights and will carry the game in‑app.

Because rights are territory‑specific and subject to change, it’s worth:

  • Checking a trusted schedule site for your exact country and time zone.
  • Confirming inside the app (ESPN, Fubo, SN Now, etc.) on matchday, as listings can update close to kickoff.

A quick example scenario

Imagine you’re in the US and want to catch the game at home:

  1. You open ESPN+ on your smart TV at kickoff time.
  1. In the “Soccer” or “FA Cup” section, you select Man City vs Salford City ; ESPN+ gives you live coverage plus replays later.

If you’re in Canada instead:

  1. You log into SN Now on your TV or browser.
  2. You look under “Live & Upcoming” soccer events and choose Salford City @ Manchester City , which is marked as a live stream.

If you still don’t see it

Because fixtures and TV rights move around:

  • Double‑check the kickoff time and date, especially if the game was moved for TV reasons.
  • Look for official listings from Manchester City’s site/app and your national FA Cup broadcaster; they often post exact TV and streaming info for your country.

If you tell me your country, I can narrow down the most likely legal streaming option even further.
