How to watch Manchester City vs Liverpool: Live streams, TV coverage for the first FA Cup quarter-final of the season

Manchester City and Liverpool resume one of English football’s fiercest rivalries today with a place in the FA Cup semi-finals on the line, and viewers worldwide have a range of options to follow the action live.

Broadcast details United Kingdom: TNT Sports 1 will carry the contest on television, while subscribers can stream it through HBO Max, the new digital home for TNT Sports content after the channel’s departure from Discovery+.

United States: ESPN Select holds the rights, with standalone access from $12.99. The best-value route is the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN bundle at $19.99, covering every FA Cup quarter-final tie.

Kick-off times have not been specified in the listings, so viewers should check local guides.

Road to the last eight Neither heavyweight has been stretched en route to the quarter-finals. City swept aside Exeter City 10-1 before recording two-goal victories over Salford City and Newcastle United. Liverpool, meanwhile, brushed aside Barnsley and Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield before eliminating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fifth round.

The stakes are considerable. City’s Champions League hopes ended at the hands of Real Madrid, so the FA Cup represents their final shot at silverware this season. Liverpool, defending champions from 2021-22, have won their last four FA Cup meetings with City, a sequence dating back to a quarter-final in 1988.

Recent history The sides’ most recent Premier League encounter in February produced late drama: Erling Haaland had a goal ruled out and Dominik Szoboszlai saw red after a chaotic finale sparked by his free kick. Today’s tie is their first rematch since that Anfield flash-point.

What if you’re abroad? Geo-blocking can prevent access to familiar streaming services. A reputable VPN can relocate your device virtually, allowing you to reach HBO Max, ESPN Select or Stan Sport as if you were back home. TechRadar, FourFourTwo’s sister site, recommends NordVPN for speed, security and reliability with sports platforms.

FourFourTwo predicts a tight contest at the Etihad Stadium but anticipates a Manchester City win inside 90 minutes, setting up a potential Wembley return for the 2023 champions.
