ITV and BBC are reportedly close to securing shared rights to the FA Cup from 2021, making the competition exclusively free-to-air for everyone!

Apparently the BBC will get 18 games & ITV will get 30 games with BT Sport no longer showing the competition!

Agreed, ensures that football becomes more accessible for all, particularly kids.

I have to say I think BBC coverage is best anyway but accept that's just down to personal taste I guess.
