Oxford City welcome Leicester City to Court Place Farm, also known as the MGroup Stadium, on Friday, 6 November 2026, for an FA Cup first-round tie kicking off at 7.45pm GMT. UK supporters can watch on TNT Sports 1 or HBO Max, with television coverage beginning at 7pm.
How to Watch Oxford City vs Leicester City Live Stream in the UK
TNT Sports 1 will show Oxford City against Leicester City live in the UK, with coverage starting at 7pm GMT. Kick-off is scheduled for 7.45pm, and the same match will stream on HBO Max for customers with a subscription that includes TNT Sports.
Some online bookmakers may add live streaming for eligible active customers closer to kick-off, so check your provider before the match begins. This option is strictly 18+. Geo-location restrictions and live-streaming terms apply.
The broadcaster has allocated 45 minutes to the build-up before Leicester’s visit to the National League North club. Oxford City’s home ground, Court Place Farm, is the setting for Friday’s televised FA Cup opener.
TNT Sports has selected eight first-round ties for live coverage across the weekend. Oxford City against Leicester is the first of those televised matches, so supporters won’t have to search through multiple simultaneous FA Cup broadcasts on Friday evening.
TV Info: What Channel Is Oxford City vs Leicester City On?
TNT Sports 1 is the main television channel, with TNT Sports Ultimate also carrying the match on compatible equipment. Both are scheduled to begin their programme at 7pm.
The fixture was selected for television after the first-round draw, moving to Friday evening for the broadcast. TNT Sports’ coverage is separate from the BBC’s televised selections later in the weekend.
You’ll need a package that includes TNT Sports to watch through your television provider. HBO Max is the online option, provided your membership includes the live sports content rather than entertainment alone.
Oxford City vs Leicester City Streaming Apps and Device Guide
Open HBO Max on your phone, tablet or computer and select Oxford City against Leicester City from the live sports section. Sign in with a membership that includes TNT Sports.
If your sports subscription comes through another television or broadband provider, check whether your HBO Max account needs linking before Friday’s coverage starts. Existing TNT Sports customers should establish their viewing arrangements before paying for a separate membership.
On a compatible smart TV, the HBO Max app offers an alternative to selecting TNT Sports 1 through a television box. The broadcast is the same fixture, although picture quality and available features can differ between packages and equipment.
Can You Cast Oxford City vs Leicester City to a TV?
If your HBO Max app and equipment support AirPlay or Chromecast, start the match on your phone or tablet and select your television using the casting control.
Both devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If your television already has a compatible HBO Max app, watching directly through that app avoids casting altogether.
Watching Oxford City vs Leicester City While Travelling
If you’re abroad, check which broadcaster shows the FA Cup where you are. TNT Sports’ UK television schedule doesn’t automatically mean that the same service will carry Friday’s game overseas.
HBO Max sports subscriptions also vary by country. Check the local service before travelling rather than assuming your UK account will work in another location.
