England’s biggest domestic cup goes on the line when Chelsea and Manchester United clash at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final. This is The Roar‘s guide to streaming the match online and watching it on TV.

The FA Cup final will kick-off at 2:15am (AEST) on Sunday, May 20, with the home of English football set to host the game once again.

Chelsea are looking to avenge their defeat at the hands of Arsenal from 12 months ago when they went down 2-1, while the Red Devils will look to make it two titles in three years after they beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the 2016 final in front of 88,619 people.

Neither team finished the Premier League season strongly, but with so much on the line, will be expected to lift their level for what is one of the biggest domestic matches of the season.

How to watch the match on TV

The best way to catch every second of the match will be on ESPN, which is available on Foxtel. The American-based broadcaster have the pay-TV rights in Australia to all of the FA Cup.

Their coverage will be available with a valid Foxtel subscription, for which you will need to have the sports package included.

ESPN’s coverage will begin at 1:25am (AEST).

There is also a free alternative to watch the match, with SBS covering the final from 1:45am (AEST). They can be found on Channel 30 in high definition and 31 in standard definition.

How to live stream the match online

ESPN’s stream of the match online can be found through either of Foxtel’s streaming applications, with both allowing you to watch the channels of Foxtel.

To use these on any device you may own, you will need to either have access to the Foxtel App or Foxtel Now. The first is better for use with a valid TV subscription, while the second is a streaming-only service.

Again, you will need the sports package to be able to watch the match.

If you want to stream the coverage on SBS, you will need to use The World Game website or application.

Here at The Roar, we will also be running a live blog of all the action so you won’t miss a moment.
