The first televised games have now been announced for the FA Cup third round. As expected, now that the big boys have arrived, the selection is Premiership heavy.

Friday 8th January Aston Villa v Liverpool 19:45 BT

Saturday 9th January Chorley v Derby County 12:15 BT
Arsenal v Newcastle United 17:30 BBC One / BBC iPlayer
Man Utd v Watford 20:00 BT

Sunday 10th January Crawley Town v Leeds United13:30 BBC One / BBC iPlayer
Marine v Tottenham Hotspur 17:00 BBC One / BBC iPlayer
Newport County v Brighton & Hove Albion 19:45 BT

Monday 11th January Stockport County v West Ham United 20:00 BT

BT have said that a further 11 live games will be announced shortly. These will be shown on a variety of platforms, so there's still a chance of the Baggies game being on the TV...or laptop.
 
BBC and BT Sport’s 16 secondary match selections – which will be made available across a combination of digital platforms and linear red button services – and the eight additional matches on The FA Player will be announced in due course. A reminder of the third round draw can be found here.

At least we will be able to watch the game somewhere.

We are no important. Quite frankly there’s only three I would give a look into which is Chorley, Crawley and Marine.

The United game was an odd choice. But then again, I think that there must be some rule somewhere that EVERY United FA Cup game has to be televised. I read somewhere that only one has failed to be shown live, in the last 20 odd years.

Correct.

Unfortunately United get the ratings so no matter who they play, the TV companies lap it up

To be fair there’s only Two games that are prem heavy. The rest have some interest in them.
