2023/24 FA Cup third round: How to watch ties including Arsenal vs Liverpool on TV and live stream

A new year is always ushered in with the arrival of the FA Cup third round. Fans travel all over the country searching for the special nostalgia only English football's grandest tournament can provide.

Supporters will turn up in their thousands to watch third round cup ties on the first weekend on January. Whether it's Maidstone United's clash with Stevenage or the all-Premier League meeting of Arsenal and Liverpool, fans will be charging through the turnstiles for all the magic the FA Cup offers.

For millions, though, these matches will be enjoyed on television, be that in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada or elsewhere.

Here's your full guide on how to enjoy the 2023/24 FA Cup third round on television.

In the United Kingdom, television rights are held jointly by the BBC and ITV, with live games being shown on both broadcasters.

As Premier League clubs make their first forays into the 2023/24 FA Cup, every cup game broadcast for the third round will involve a team from the English top flight. A Thursday night encounter starts the action off as Crystal Palace host Everton before Burnley's trip to Tottenham the following evening.

The Tyne-Wear derby starts Saturday's lengthy fixture list at midday, with Championship side Middlesbrough entertaining Aston Villa later in the day.

The tie of the round arrives on Sunday as two tournament favourites in Arsenal and Liverpool collide at the Emirates Stadium, having only recently met in the Premier League at Anfield.

Manchester United reached the final of this competition last season before being beaten by treble winners Manchester City. Their journey to Wembley starts with a Monday night encounter with Wigan.
