🏆 Exciting news for football fans! The FA Cup final showdown between Chelsea and Manchester City is happening this Saturday at the iconic Wembley Stadium. It’s going to be a thrilling Premier League clash as the Blues, under interim boss Calum McFarlane, aim to clinch the cup for the first time since 2018. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s City will be determined to shake off recent finals’ heartbreak and secure the trophy again.
🕒 In a bit of a throwback, this year’s final returns to its traditional 3pm kick-off time, perfect for avoiding any clashes with Saturday evening’s Eurovision extravaganza. So, set your reminders and get that pre-match banter in!
🎥 If you’re not one of the lucky ones with a ticket, no worries! You can catch every heart-stopping moment live on both BBC and TNT Sports. Over on BBC, Mark Chapman will be heading up the coverage alongside legends Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney, and Micah Richards. On TNT, it’s Laura Woods teaming up with Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole, and Joe Hart to bring you all the insights.
Important to note, for the first time since 2022, ITV won’t be airing the final. Instead, the BBC has scooped up the exclusive free-to-air rights in a new deal ensuring more live matches than ever as we head deeper into the 2025-26 season.
