2016-17 FA Cup
As originally posted by fishlipsmcgee:
Looks like the broadcast of the FA Cup has already started pretty earlier than expected. Actually, this happened as well last season, but I just didn't notice.
This post documents all of the BT Sport, BBC, and World Feed [via FOX and Rogers Sportsnet] commentators/reporters for all of the televised FA Cup matches for 2016-2017. Games not on North American TV are available online via Fox Soccer 2GO [US] and Sportsnet World Now [Canada], which will all take the World Feed. Information used from Digital Spy UK, the 506Sports users, and maybe my viewing opportunities. Any help or correction is appreciated. Any personnel italicized is reporting. All times Eastern.
