Reliable FA Cup live streams are essential for the 2023/24 season, and FourFourTwo has you covered on how to watch each round of the competition, all the way to the final at Wembley on May 25, 2024.

The fourth round of the FA Cup gets underway on January 25, with Bournemouth taking on Swansea City before concluding with Wrexham's trip to Blackburn Rovers on Monday night. 

It's Friday night, though, where all eyes will be, as Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester City. Chelsea vs Aston Villa, Everton vs Luton Town and Fulham vs Newcastle United are the round's other all-Premier League ties. The derby between Wolves and West Brom promises to deliver, too, while Maidstone United are the only Non-League side remaining in the competition. 

In total, eight FA Cup games have been selected for live coverage over the course of the weekend.

The FA Cup TV rights in the UK are held by both BBC and ITV, with the broadcasters showing each round of the competition until the final on May 25.

VPN Guide

Use a VPN to watch the FA Cup from outside your country

Use a VPN to watch FA Cup football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a round of FA Cup fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch all of the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
