Birmingham City’s FA Cup second round matchup versus Blackpool was not selected for television coverage, hence they will not be shown.
Their game will not start at the customary hour of 3 p.m. on a Saturday, even though it will not be broadcast on UK terrestrial television. On Sunday, December 1 at 1:00 pm, they will instead play the Seasiders at Bloomfield Road.

The FA Cup weekend will begin on Friday, November 29 at 7.45 p.m. when Harrogate Town, who defeated Wrexham, hosts Gainsborough Trinity on BBC Two. Hednesford Town was eliminated on penalties by Gainsborough, who play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

National League outfit Wealdstone host League One leaders Wycombe Wanderers in the unusual kick-off time of 11.30 am on the Saturday. The Stones and the Chairboys will feature on ITV, STV, and streaming platform ITVX.

AFC Wimbledon vs. Dagenham & Redbridge will be on ITVX at 7:15 p.m. on Saturday, so there’s more FA Cup action on ITV than just that. BBC Two will broadcast the match between Kettering Town, who defeated Northampton Town, and Doncaster Rovers on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. ITV1, STV, and ITVX will broadcast the match between West Midlands team Solihull Moors and recently promoted Bromley at 3:15 p.m. to wrap off the action.

Winning and losing clubs will get £75,000 and £25,000, respectively, for their involvement in the competition, according to the FA’s official website. Teams selected to be featured on television will get £60,000.
