Slough Town on the tele! The Rebels join Blackpool and Leyton Orient in the FA Cup TV tie

Slough Town’s FA Cup Second Round home clash with Macclesfield will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, the Football Association has confirmed.

The Rebels will face the Silkmen at Arbor Park on Sunday December 7 – kick-off 12:30 – which will be shown on TNT Sports 2 and Discovery+.

The match is one of eight being shown by the digital broadcaster while BBC Two will show the match between Sutton United and Shrewsbury Town on Saturday as well as Boreham Wood vs Newport County on Sunday.

The Rebels reached the Second Round after beating their National League opponents Altrincham on Saturday with a 2-0 first-half lead through new signings Ansu Janneh and Wiktor Makowski before Alty substitute James Gale pulled one back with less than half an hour remaining.

These clubs will receive a payout if they win or lose, and those involved in live television will receive an additional fee of £60,000.
