What are the FA Cup games on TV this weekend? Full list including how to watch Derby County v Leeds United

Leeds United’s visit to Derby County is just one of a number of eye-catching FA Cup third round ties taking place this weekend.

One of the most exciting weekends in the football calendar is set to get underway as clubs across the country prepare for FA Cup third round ties.

For Leeds United, that means a reunion with former Championship rivals Derby County and the Whites will travel to Pride Park looking to reach the fourth round of the competition for a fourth consecutive season. Their hosts head into the tie looking to bounce back from a 2-1 home defeat against Wrexham that has left them six points adrift of the play-off places in the second tier.

Sunday lunchtime’s clash is just one of a number of ties that caught the eye when the third round draw was made and there was little surprise to discover the BBC and TNT Sports have selected a whole host of fixtures for live broadcast over the coming days. That gets underway on Friday night as Nottingham Forest’s visit to Hollywood-backed Wrexham tops the bill and comes to a close with Liverpool’s home tie against Barnsley on Monday night. But which ties will be broadcast and will Leeds fans be able to see the tie at Derby on television?
