The FA Cup reaches its fifth round this weekend with just 16 teams remaining in the competition. Eight matches will take place between March 6-9, with every fixture broadcast live on one channel.
A mix of Premier League heavyweights and lower league outsiders remain in contention, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City amongst those representing the top flight. Wrexham and Southampton are carrying the torch for the Championship, whilst League One outfits Mansfield Town and Port Vale are the lowest ranked sides left.
Each club is in line for a substantial payday, with all 16 receiving a £120,000 broadcast fee. The victors of each tie will pocket £238,500 each from the overall prize fund.
All eight fixtures in the FA Cup fifth round will be televised, with each shown on TNT Sports and discovery+. Supporters can stream every match live on the discovery+ app or Prime Video’s TNT Sports channel.
A subscription costs £30.99 on a rolling monthly basis and also includes the majority of fixtures in the forthcoming UEFA Champions League round of 16. However, Newcastle vs Barcelona on March 10 is on Amazon’s Prime Video, which holds the exclusive rights to this tie.
