Salisbury's FA Cup Tie Moved for TV Broadcast

Thursday, 12 November 2026 at 18:57

Salisbury's FA Cup Second Round match with Blackpool has been moved to Sunday, 6th December to be broadcast on TV.

The game is one of eight fixtures from the second round that will feature on TV, with the game now kicking off at 12:15 on the Sunday afternoon.

The game will be shown on BBC 2, iPlayer, TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max, giving supporters the chance to see the Whites take on the side from League One who are former FA Cup winners.

Clubs featuring in live TV coverage will receive a broadcast fee of £60,000.

The game is expected to be a sell out, with a large amount of interest in the game. The club are yet to announce ticket details, but these are expected to be announced in the coming days, with priority being given to season ticket and membership holders.

To reach this stage, Salisbury have beaten Taunton Town (4-1), Dulwich Hamlet (5-0), Eastbourne Borough (3-0), and, most recently, dismantled Sholing 6-0 in the first round.

Blackpool needed extra time to overcome National League side Hornchurch in the first round, eventually winning 2-1.

Salisbury have amassed £66,125 in prize money so far – there is at least £21,200 for losing in the second round, but if Salisbury win, it will add £79,500 to their total.
