-
The high-stakes FA Cup tie between Manchester City and Liverpool is scheduled to kick off at 12.45pm today at the Etihad Stadium. Fans can expect a intense atmosphere as these two heavyweights fight for a spot in the semi-finals at Wembley.
-
In the United Kingdom, the match will be broadcast live on HBO Max. Live coverage and pre-match build-up typically begin approximately one hour before the first whistle.
-
As of late March 2026, HBO Max is the new home for TNT Sports in the UK. This transition means that Discovery+ is no longer the primary streaming platform for the broadcaster’s premium sports content.
-
Existing subscribers who previously used Discovery+ can log in to HBO Max using their original email and password. The app is available on most smart TVs, mobile devices, and gaming consoles for seamless matchday viewing.
-
For those concerned about billing, your subscription will automatically continue on the new platform. While the interface has changed, the monthly cost for the standalone TNT Sports package remains the same.
-
If you are on the move, BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT are providing full national radio commentary. Liverpool FC will also offer a free live audio stream via their official club website and mobile app.
-
Sky and Virgin Media customers can still access the live channels through their set-top boxes. However, to use the interactive streaming features, users must now activate their accounts through the dedicated HBO Max application.
