Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport: “We’re excited to be working in partnership with TNT Sports to bring this year’s FA Youth Cup Final to audiences across the UK. This is a brilliant occasion featuring two outstanding academies and some of the brightest young talent in English football, and we’re really pleased that, through this collaboration, fans who can’t be there in person will also be able to watch the match live across BBC digital platforms. Thank you to TNT Sports and the FA for making this possible”.
Scott Young, EVP Sports Creative and Production, WBD Sports Europe, added: “We are looking forward to broadcasting the FA Youth Cup Final, a fantastic showcase for emerging football talent, and we are delighted to extend our partnership with the BBC to bring this Manchester Derby to football fans and audiences across the UK, however they choose to watch. Our partnership with the BBC for the Emirates FA Cup has seen audiences grow across all platforms, so we are excited to extend this to the FA Youth Cup.”
