Exeter City will be hoping to cause one of the FA Cup's biggest ever updates when they face Manchester City on Saturday.
The Grecians are up to 14th in League One after an impressing set of results over the festive period, but will face a tough task against the Premier League giants.
Pep Guardiola's men will almost certainly field a much-changed side - and have failed to win any of their last three games - but will be huge favourites against Gary Caldwell's Grecians.
The match is a 3pm kick-off - but has not been chosen by FA Cup broadcasters TNT Sports and Discovery + for TV coverage. As a result, there is no live coverage on TV in the UK.
The third round is set to take place from Friday 9 to Monday 12 January 2026, with 22 matches available for fans to watch live, of which eight are on linear TV channels and a further 14 which are on Discovery+
Live television broadcast selections are scheduled collaboratively with the participating clubs, the local authorities and police, and the broadcasters. But the Manchester City vs Exeter City game is not one of the 22 matches which was selected for TV.
And due to FA Cup rules, neither UK or overseas viewers have access to watch the match via Grecian+ . Audio and match day passes aren't available for FA Cup matches. If you have a monthly or annual subscription, you will have access to audio commentary.
