That gives the game even bigger billing.

A bit surprised ITV have selected it as well, they get a choice of one of the live Sky games and I thought they'd pick a game involving a Premier League team.

Will probably be live on BBC Radio 5 Live too now, so a lot of coverage will be given to this game.

Might it simply be an ITV Wales thing? :?

I seem to recall them (or maybe the BBC) scheduling our cup games previously! :ayatollah:

Chris, it will be the main ITV1 channel.

ITV signed a deal last year with the EFL and Sky to shown live some Carabao Cup and Championship games.

They had Southampton v Portsmouth in in the league recently and I think they had Liverpool v Southampton in the last round.

Chris, I’ll be in Phoenix but my son in law assures me that he’ll be able to access the game in our accommodation. 1pm ko for me :bluescarf:

Thanks, Ned. That’s great for our supporters who don’t have access to Sky or other media; and it means the UK masses will be able to see what BBM is developing at our club :ayatollah:
