Birmingham City snubbed as AFC Wimbledon and Wycombe Wanderers among clubs selected for FA Cup TV coverage

Birmingham City will not feature on television as their FA Cup second round tie against Blackpool wasn’t chosen for coverage.

Despite the match not featuring on terrestrial television in the United Kingdom, their game will not take place at the traditional kick-off time of 3.00 pm on a Saturday. They will instead play the Seasiders at Bloomfield Road on Sunday, December 1 at 1.00 pm.

Harrogate Town who knocked out Wrexham will get the FA Cup weekend underway on Friday, November 29 when they host Gainsborough Trinity on BBC Two at 7.45 pm. Gainsborough play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, and knocked out Hednesford Town on penalties.

National League outfit Wealdstone host League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers in the unusual kick-off time of 11.30 am on the Saturday. The Stones and the Chairboys will feature on ITV, STV, and streaming platform ITVX.

That's not the only offering of FA Cup action from ITV on Saturday as AFC Wimbledon versus Dagenham & Redbridge will be on ITVX at 7.15 pm. On the Sunday at 12.00 pm, Kettering Town who knocked out Northampton Town host Doncaster Rovers, and that match is available on BBC Two. To round off the action, West Midlands side Solihull Moors host newly promoted Bromley at 3.15 pm, and that will be on ITV1, STV, and ITVX.

According to the FA's official website, winning and losing clubs will receive £75,000 and £25,000 each for their participation in the competition. Teams chosen for television coverage will receive £60,000.
