Crystal Palace seek their first trophy in the 111-year history of the club in the FA Cup final against Manchester United. Palace have struggled against United, going winless against the club since 2011.
United manager Louis van Gaal may need the FA Cup trophy to keep his job, which brings on memories of the 1990 FA Cup final. That’s when Alex Ferguson needed his first trophy as United manager to save his job. His opponent? Crystal Palace. He went on to have a pretty good run with the club, totaling 38 trophies by the time he left Old Trafford.
Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET, and it will be broadcast on Fox in the US and BT Sport in the UK. If you can’t get to a TV, here’s a complete roundup of the available live stream options:

If you have access to a cable subscription, you can watch the game online for free through Fox Sports GO. You’ll need the log-in and password for a cable subscription — either yours or someone else’s — to access the stream. Frequently asked questions about Fox Sports GO can be found here.
With an App:
Mobile users can watch the game on the Fox Sports GO app, which is free to download for your Apple device, your Android or Google device, your Amazon device, and your Windows device. As is the case with the desktop live stream, you’ll need a cable log-in and password to access the stream on the app.
If You’re in the United States & Don’t Have a Cable or Satellite Subscription That Includes Fox
If you don’t have Fox in your cable packages, you can purchase a service called Fox Soccer 2Go, which broadcasts all Fox Sports soccer matches online. The service is sold by a $99.99 per year subscription. You can download the Fox Soccer 2Go app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
Users without a cable subscription can also watch the game through Sling TV, an online streaming service that provides access to a handful of channels for a monthly fee. They’ve recently launched a new package that includes Fox Sports One, and you can watch today’s match as part of a free 7-day trial. Click here to sign up for SlingTV.
To sign up for Sling, follow these steps:
1. Click here to sign up for Sling TV. You’ll need to enter your credit card information when signing up, but if you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends, you will not be charged.
2. When you sign up, you’ll want to select Sling’s Best of Live TV-Beta Multi-Stream, a new option which costs $20 per month. The package also includes AMC, FX, and 14 Fox Sports regional networks, including the YES Network. Again: You will not be charged if you cancel your subscription before the 7-day trial ends.
