BBC and ITV have confirmed their broadcast picks for the semi-finals of 2023-24 FA Cup.
With first pick of the semi-finals, BBC selected Manchester City’s clash against Chelsea which will be played on Saturday 20 April at 5:15pm BST, live on BBC1 across all regions in the UK.
Man City comfortably beat Newcastle in the Quarter-Finals, whilst Chelsea needed two injury-time goals to beat Leicester after having blown a 2-0 half-time lead.
ITV meanwhile will show Coventry’s semi-final against Manchester United on Sunday 21 April at 3:30pm as Mark Robins’ Sky Blues seek another giant killing, having already beaten Wolves in the Quarter-Finals at Molineux.
Man Utd meanwhile saw off Liverpool in a seven-goal thriller at Old Trafford in which Amad Diallo struck a last-gasp extra-time winner.
Both semi-final ties will be played at Wembley Stadium, London, with the winners then meeting at the same venue on Saturday 25 May, with BBC and ITV both broadcasting the Final live simultaneously under the current deal which expires at end of next season.

BBC meanwhile will have coverage of both semi-finals in the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday 14 April, beginning with Tottenham’s tie against Leicester at 12pm on BBC2 as both teams look to secure their first appearance in the Final.

BBC1 meanwhile will broadcast reigning champions, Chelsea’s trip to Man Utd at Leigh Sports Village in a 2:35pm kick-off, as last season’s finalists collide in a blockbuster semi-final tie as the Blues chase one last trip to Wembley Stadium under Emma Hayes.
