    Surprised it's not televised as ESPN does not have much at that time.

    Although just a one-off, hopefully just an interim stop gap amid ongoing talks. I’d love to see FA Cup (and Serie A if the “bundling” rumors are true) on ESPN+ and not on B/R Live which is a nightmare of a site/app or on DAZN which would require another subscription.

    Does tip ESPN's hand as to where they'd like the FA Cup to go, if they put a deal together with IMG.

    But great advertisement for ESPN plus. Potentially reels-in a whole new group of sports fans.

    Just got an email from ESPN+ that advertises the match being streamed.

    Its listed now. Although they call it “English FA cup”.

    Spanish super cup also listed (ESPN3 & ESPND) for 12 Aug and 15 Aug. Though the match on the 15th doesn’t exist (only one leg this year)

    I subscribe to ESPN+ but will not watch this game there. I’m ok paying to watch a Championship in-season game. I’m not going to offset ESPN’s bad financial planning by letting them think they can charge money to play games between premier league teams.
