Broadcast rights are shared between the BBC and ITV, so you’ll have the choice between BBC One or ITV1 on the big day.

Coverage starts at 6.30pm, ahead of kick-off at 8pm.

For those out and about watching via streaming, be warned that there is a slight delay compared to traditional broadcasts.

And this is also the case for Sky Glass, the company’s internet-based service.

Everyday viewing doesn’t really have an impact but when it comes to live action football it can mean hearing people elsewhere cheering before you’ve even seen the goal, potentially spoiling the moment.

It’s something Sky is working to change and has started with Sky Sports.

There is also the risk of broadband and Wi-Fi issues out of Sky’s control.

Should your internet go down you could miss a really key moment.

However, there is a little-known trick on Sky Glass that allows you to watch telly the old school way – with an aerial.

When there is no connection due to internet issues, Sky offers the option to watch channels via aerial instead, should you have one plugged in.

This essentially gives you access to all Freeview channels.

There’s no way to summon this service so you will have to disconnect the Wi-Fi in the settings or physically unplug the ethernet cable.

Doing so will trigger the faster aerial service.

If you’re a Sky Q or Sky+HD user your viewing relies on satellite so you shouldn’t have any internet disruption risks.
