How the UK broadcast worked
BT Sport 1 television coverage
BT Sport 1 was a subscription channel, so live television access depended on having an eligible BT Sport TV or streaming package in January 2021. It was not listed as a universally free-to-air BBC broadcast.
Online streaming for subscribers
Eligible BT Sport customers could use the associated online service to watch the match. That did not mean a free stream was available to everybody; access was tied to the relevant subscription and supported platform at the time.
#1 Best Overall
- Official 2025/26 away stadium version
- Lightweight, breathable fabric for maximum comfort
- Moisture-absorbing AEROREADY technology keeps you cool and dry
- Smooth seams and soft feel for reduced irritation
- Embroidered team crest and sponsor details
Options without live video
Southampton’s official match pack promoted a match centre, live updates and free audio commentary. These were legitimate ways to follow events without the BT Sport video feed, but they were not a substitute for live television pictures.
International viewers
The verified listing above is UK-specific. FA Cup rights differed by territory, so BT Sport 1 was not automatically the channel for viewers in the United States, Canada, Australia or elsewhere. For a match played in 2021, any overseas reader would have needed to check the broadcaster holding rights in their own country at that time.
Rank #2
- BREATHABLE PERFORMANCE: Mesh side panels increase airflow to help keep you cool when the pace rises.
- SWEAT-WICKING COMFORT: dryCELL technology helps keep you dry and comfortable from warm-up to the final whistle.
- AUTHENTIC DETAILS: Team crest at the left chest and PUMA Cat logo at the right chest deliver official on-field energy.
- STREAMLINED FINISH: Flat knit collar and cuffs give a clean look that plays well on and off the field.
- FOREVER BETTER: PUMA is always pushing to be better than we were yesterday. FOREVER BETTER is our commitment to reduce our environmental impact and work together towards a sustainable future. The garment is made with at least 95% recycled materials.

No. The fixture was played on January 23, 2021, so there is no live match remaining. A rights holder, the FA, Southampton or Arsenal may sometimes offer highlights or an archive replay, but availability can change by country and account status. Do not assume that the old BT Sport channel listing guarantees a current replay.
Archive note
This page preserves the original viewing information for the 2020–21 FA Cup fourth-round match. It is not a current Southampton–Arsenal fixture listing, and the BT Sport branding and packages described here refer to the 2021 broadcast.
