Birmingham City v Leeds United on TV: Schedule, TV channels and FA Cup live stream | OneFootball

How fans will be able to watch the FA Cup clash between the current Championship and League One champions

The FA Cup returns for the fourth round this weekend, and one of the more mouthwatering ties sees the current reigning Championship champions take on the reigning League One title-holders, as Leeds United travel to Birmingham City.

The Blues avoided a late comeback scare at League Two side Cambridge United in round three, while Daniel Farke's side came from behind to beat second-tier opposition away from home in Derby County.

While both sides will have priorities outside the oldest cup competition in the world this season (Birmingham in their pursuit of the Championship play-offs, and Leeds in their hopes of avoiding relegation), there's still no doubt that we're going to be in for a cracking cup tie at St Andrew's.

The Whites will feel that they can make a fist of getting far in the FA Cup this season with what seems a winnable tie, while Birmingham will know Leeds' history of falling victim to cupsets.

And with the tie being moved for TV purposes, here's how you can watch it at home.

How to watch Birmingham City vs Leeds United

Leeds' trip to Birmingham in the FA Cup fourth round has been scheduled for Sunday, February 15th, with the early kick-off time of 12pm.

Unlike previous seasons, where the vast majority of televised FA Cup clashes were broadcast on the BBC, TNT Sports is the main broadcast provider of the oldest cup competition in the world this year, with only a few games being shown on free TV.

None of the games on Sunday will be broadcast on the BBC, so viewers will need to pay for a TNT sports package, which they can purchase through Discovery+.

Home viewers will be able to watch the fourth round clash on TNT Sports 3, or with a Discovery+ membership, which costs £30.99 per month.

Birmingham City will be searching for back-to-back home wins and a Premier League scalp vs Leeds United

Due to Leeds' recent participation in the Premier League and Birmingham's sole campaign in League One, these two sides have met just twice in the last five full seasons.

In the 2023/24 campaign, the Blues edged past Leeds in a close early-season affair, when a then John Eustace-led Birmingham side scored a late penalty to win 1-0.

Daniel Farke's side would get their revenge later on in the campaign, winning 3-0 at Elland Road on New Year's Day 2024, and this FA Cup clash marks their first meeting since that day over two years ago.

Birmingham fans will be hopeful for a big win over their Premier League opponents for a place in the fifth round, while neutral fans will be angling more for a game akin to the one that took place at St Andrew's back in December 2019, where the two sides played out one of the craziest games in Championship history, as Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds side won 5-4.
