ITV has agreed a new deal to broadcast the Emirates FA Cup for four years, starting in 2021.

This will see England's historic football tournament made available entirely free-to-air to viewers.

Live coverage of more than 20 matches will be shown each season from 2021/22 through to 2024/25, and the deal also includes live coverage of The FA Community Shield each year. Sharing coverage with the BBC, ITV will have first pick and fourth pick of matches in the Second Round, Fourth Round and the Quarter Finals, as well as second and third picks for the First, Third and Fifth Rounds and second pick of the Semi-finals.

Mark Bullingham, FA Chief Commercial & Football Development Officer, said: "The Emirates FA Cup continues to capture the public's imagination, drawing millions of viewers at every stage. This agreement with ITV is fantastic news and means that we will reach the broadest possible audience across the country. 

"ITV has been a great broadcast partner with the England Men's Internationals and will do a brilliant job with the coverage of the world's most historic cup competition."
