You can watch the FA Cup draw live on TNT Sports via TV, streaming apps, or their official YouTube channel, with some international coverage on ESPN and local rights holders.

Main ways to watch live

  • In the UK and Ireland, the draw is shown live on TNT Sports 1 on television as part of their FA Cup match coverage.
  • The same broadcast is available to stream on discovery+ , which is the streaming home of TNT Sports football in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
  • TNT Sports also streams the draw for free on its official TNT Sports Football YouTube channel , so you can watch the draw even without a paid TV subscription.

Outside the UK

  • In the United States, the FA Cup draw is carried as part of coverage on ESPN , which holds broadcast rights for the competition.
  • In other regions, the draw is often included in the FA Cup match broadcast on local rights holders’ sports channels or streaming platforms, so checking your regional FA Cup broadcaster’s listings is recommended.

Timing and context

  • For the 2025–26 season, the fourth-round draw is scheduled on a matchday evening and slotted into the pre‑match build‑up for the final third‑round tie (Liverpool vs Barnsley), typically around 18:30–18:35 GMT.
  • The draw is presented from the match venue with a host duo (for example Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist) and ex‑players such as Joe Cole or Steven Gerrard conducting the draw, which is why it is tightly linked to the live match broadcast.
