The BBC have confirmed that they will be broadcasting the FA Cup First Round tie between Brackley Town and Notts County.

One of the broadcaster’s two selections for TV broadcast in the FA Cup First Round is the tie at Brackley’s St James Park, which will be shown on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Saturday November 1st. Kick-off will be at 5:30pm.

Confirmation came on as the FA Cup broadcasters BBC and TNT Sports confirmed the 8 First Round ties selected for broadcast.

Each of the clubs involved in the televised ties will receive a £50,000 fee.

The Saints confirmed their place in the FA Cup First Round in midweek after a 6-2 win over Woking in their replay. Brackley had previously been held to a 1-1 draw by their fellow National League side in an away tie in Surrey a few days earlier.

Victory saw Brackley reach the FA Cup First Round for the seventh time in the club’s history, with the Saints’ best run seeing them reach the Second Round on four previous occasions, including last season. They have managed cup upsets against EFL sides before, knocking out a then-League One Gillingham in the 2013-14 season and again in the 2016-17 campaign.

Their First Round opponents Notts County currently sit in 9th place in the League Two table, having beaten Barnet yesterday in North London. They sit just two points off the play-offs. The Magpies are one time winners of the FA Cup, lifting the trophy in 1894.
