In the US and similar supported areas:
download ESPN app to your fire stick/firetv / roku /phone/tablet etc

Scroll to ESPN +
Sign up to the monthly subscription $5.99 per month
Watch game
Cancel subscription if we get beat. Maximum cost to see the game $5.99

Should we win I think the 4th round is still in this billing cycle and it’ll be on so games would equal $2.99 each.

After 4th round review if we are still in it and either a) continue or b) Remember Your subscription will automatically be renewed unless you cancel :)

This might help

The FA Player is not available internationally. Overseas fans can watch via one of the following international broadcasters channels:


Malta - TSN
Thanks for this Tony. I am subscribed to TSN but the buggers are only screening it delayed :(

They are a list of womens football teams that the FA Player must stream thats all. I ignored it.
Ditto. I suspect I’ll only use the site to watch the Clarets. Zero interest in women’s football.

Managed to eventually get this app on my phone and registered. Using the Screen mirroring from Samsung Galaxy phone to Samsung TV. I'll see how that goes but if it is poor quality I'll watch on a Chromebook. Definitely a lag though. I've complained to the FA and am in dialogue with their FA Player team regarding the whole process.

I've got a fire stick and have signed up to FA player via my phone. Can I just log on to fa player through the internet browser on fire stick and bobs your uncle, or is it infinitely more hassle, any help greatly received

Same for me.....one hopes you don’t have to select your 2 favourite teams from that embarrassing list in order for it to work......

2 reasons
1 there’s no BFC
2 how on earth can any self respecting football fan have more than 1 favourite team

Typical FA I reckon, it’s no wonder why their refs have ‘favourite teams’....

I’m guessing it’s the first time they have tried to do something like this and it’s becoming apparent that it can’t cope with the demand. Not looking good for this afternoon’s game. :(

They have streamed them before for earlier rounds, but obviously not with the same demand

How on earth do you get in. There are some games on at 1:30 so I thought I'd test it with one but don't seem to be able to find how to get in to a game.

Just can't get this app to work.
It's garbage.
I've created an account...then tried to use it, after signing in and, it says I need an account........ keeps sending me round in circles.
Tried all ways. Deleting app and downloading again....blah blah.
App is deleted..... permanently!
Have much less brainache getting a dodgy stream.

I’ve given up - was in a Kafka esque Lopo of 2 different login screens and/or being told to upgrade to fa player to watch anything.
Plus said it knows me - so did it twice as me and then a new account
Is that bt show on that has all the goals at 3pm - at least if it is I might see bits of it
