    Cambridge United is in the fourth level, which is League Two. Sutton United is in the fifth level and already advanced one round. Sutton United reached the Round of 16 last season.

    Woking vs. Bury on Sunday at 11:00 A.M. delayed from 9:00 A.M.
    Woking is in the fifth level and already advanced one round. Bury is in the third level, which is League One.

    Dartford vs. Swindon Town on Sunday at 1:00 P.M. delayed from 9:00 A.M.
    Dartford is in the sixth level and already advanced three rounds. Swindon Town is in the fourth level, which is League Two.

    Chorley is in the sixth level and already advanced three rounds. Fleetwood Town is in the third level, which is League One.

    That's a fifth of the games, which is significant considering the top two levels haven't entered yet.

    The Second Round will have 1 game on Friday, 9 games on Saturday, 9 games on Sunday, and 1 game on Monday. Here's the Fox Soccer Plus schedule for it:

    Friday December 1:

    AFC Fylde vs. Wigan Athletic at 2:55 P.M. with coverage at 2:50 P.M.

    Saturday December 2:

    Notts County vs. Oxford City at 7:30 A.M. with coverage at 7:25 A.M. (Bundesliga coverage of Hoffenheim vs. Red Bull Leipzig is scheduled for 9:20 A.M., which could be pushed back if this game ends after 9:20 A.M.)
    Fleetwood Town vs. AFC Hereford at 11:30 A.M. delayed from 10:00 A.M.
    Bradford City vs. Plymouth Argyle at 1:30 P.M. delayed from 10:00 A.M.

    Sunday December 3:

    Coventry City vs. Boreham Wood at 9:00 A.M. with coverage at 8:55 A.M.
    Wycombe Wanderers vs. Leatherhead at 11:00 A.M. delayed from 9:00 A.M.
    Gateshead vs. Luton Town at 1:00 P.M. delayed from 9:00 A.M.

    Monday December 4:

    FA Cup games to be announced are scheduled for 6:00 A.M. 2:30 P.M., 5:00 P.M., and 7:00 P.M. I'm assuming all of these are replays except for 2:30 P.M., which I'm expecting to be Slough Town vs. Rochdale, which starts at 2:45 P.M. If that game is shown, 8 out of 20 games will be on TV. There's also a to be announced game at 1:00 A.M. on Tuesday.

    When the Third Round starts on Friday January 5, two of the top clubs will play at the same time, so I hope FS1 and FS2 will be used. Liverpool hosts Everton at 2:55 P.M. and Manchester United hosts Derby County at 3:00 P.M. Liverpool vs. Everton could be the biggest Third Round rivalry game since Manchester City lost hosting Manchester United in January 2012.

    I'm actually a bit surprised that Bundesliga (yes it's Bayern, of course) got the FS1 spot over an FA Cup tie with a PL club involved.

    I'd expect Bayern Munich to have more fans in the USA than Wigan Athletic and West Ham United combined.

    That's true but doesn't really show itself as clearly in ratings. Bundesliga ratings are really poor, Bayern or not. But there's also an overall league appeal coupled with network success. Example: more people watch West Ham on NBCSN than watch Bayern Bundesliga matches on FS1. But that's down to the Premier League and NBCSN being more commercially successful in the US overall than Bundesliga and FS1. Also, for a sports program to be successful, you need a lot more than just fans of the teams to watch.

    Though with this being the FA Cup, I think FOX is backing down a bit from their pushing the competition as their way of getting Premier League clubs on their main channel. I believe this is the final season of the Cup on FOX and I doubt they go over the top to win the rights again.

    Before Newport County vs. Tottenham on FS1, Newport County's manager was interviewed on the field by a woman with a microphone that said "beIN SPORTS." I know different companies have rights to competitions in different countries, but it's still unusual to see that.

    Fox Sports 1 will not have FA Cup on Friday or Saturday due to NASCAR. Eibar vs. Barcelona will be Saturday at 10:15 A.M., and unless you pay for Fox Soccer Plus or Match Pass, you can't watch any Premier League clubs then. Fox Sports 2 will have FA Cup Review Show on Tuesday February 20 at 11:30 P.M.

    Should find out soon where this will be for next season with the Community Shield next weekend, right? Don't see it on listings yet.

    With the Serie A, FA Cup and beIN situations, seems like ‘deadline day’ dealings have arrived with TV as well :D
