The FA (Football Association) Cup is England’s premier cup played amongst clubs from all tiers in the country.
- VPN solution for the FA Cup
For the technically minded, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is gaining popularity given the anonymity it offers. Install the software onto your phone, tablet, laptop or PC and once configured you can watch the BBC iPlayer from your location outside the UK. The downside of a VPN is having the necessary resources on your device to run the software as well as having a strong and stable wi-fi connection

The FA is providing coverage of those games not on a satellite or terrestrial broadcaster on their website - the FA Cup player, however you must be based in the UK to watch these games live.
