The FA Cup Final between Crystal Palace and Manchester City, scheduled for today, May 17, 2025, at 4:30 PM BST, will not be televised live in the United Kingdom due to the traditional 3 PM Saturday broadcast blackout. This policy, rooted in UEFA’s Article 48.2, prohibits live football broadcasts between 2:45 PM and 5:15 PM on Saturdays to encourage attendance at lower-league matched.
Although this match is a significant event, the blackout rule remains in effect, restricting live TV coverage within the UK. However, fans outside the UK can watch the game live through various international broadcasters. For instance, in Nigeria, the match will be available on SuperSport Premier League.
UK-based fans can follow live radio commentary on BBC Radio Manchester and receive real-time updates through official club channels and sports news outlets.
