Your complete guide to watching the FA Cup in 2023/24, featuring a full TV schedule of games coming up.
The FA Cup returns with the second round, featuring a host of EFL and non-league representatives.
Eighth-tier Ramsgate are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition as they gear up for a trip to face AFC Wimbledon, while there are nine more teams outside of the EFL involved.
Horsham – who play in the sixth tier – held Barnsley to a remarkable 3-3 draw in the 1st round before being defeated 3-0 in the replay. However, they have been reinstated into the competition at the expense of Barnsley, who were charged with fielding an ineligible player.
The modern day football landscape can feel like alien territory as internal power games and money, money, money flood through the game, but the FA Cup remains a safe haven for fairytales to be written.
Non-league clubs have qualified for the second round proper, and will be joined by League One and League Two teams, including a handful of former Premier League stalwarts.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete FA Cup TV schedule, including every game you can watch live in the UK.
