League Cup and Championship still on BeIN…Paramount has AFC rights and domestic competition plus Scottish FA Cup. Optus Sport is the go-to for all English Men's and Women's Football
You claimed that the coverage would be “televised replays from each round”. So are you saying that there won’t be any live FA Cup matches on Optus?
Weird.
I'm completely lost.
I was saying Optus will have the same package Paramount+ had, which means all games from the First Round onwards live, plus all televised replays, meaning that not every single game will be available.
What did you think I said/meant?
That’s okay. I read your original post to mean only replays would be shown because you didn’t have the word “live” in it. I didn’t watch much of the FA Cup last season on Paramount+, so I didn’t know what the coverage was like in the first few rounds of it.
Aren't they getting rid of replays anyway
beIN Sports have got back the rights to LaLiga for 2024-25 plus LaLiga 2 added. They still have Serie A, EFL and Bundesliga.
Optus paid for the FA Cup and cannot afford to retain LaLiga rights for 24/25
How big is their EFL package now?beIN Sports have got back the rights to LaLiga for 2024-25 plus LaLiga 2 added. They still have Serie A, EFL and Bundesliga.

Optus is focusing on tournaments like the Euros and Copa America plus UEFA football and the EPL/FA Cup.
1 step forward 2 steps backwards by Optus. La Liga is more appealing than the FA Cup.
In what way is La Liga more appealing in this country than the FA Cup?
In most ways? Most of the Fa Cup is pretty gash these days. Save for semis / final.
You've got Madrid derbies & classico, that's already miles better than any FA Cup tie even in this country.
Club competitions like the Champions LeagueStan has UEFA football.
I think you are overestimating just how many people watch La Liga. If the viewer numbers were there Optus would have kept it rather than spend the money on the FA Cup.
Paramount didn't bother renewing the FA Cup. Interest in it has dropped off. It seems getting the FA Cup was a response to losing out on Ka Liiga rights.
El classico is bigger than any FA Cup game, easily.
