Blackpool and AFC Fylde have both had their respective FA Cup second round ties chosen for live broadcast.
Monday’s draw for round two saw the Seasiders given another trip to a non-league team.
Having defeated National League side Hornchurch after extra time in the first round last weekend, Ian Evatt’s players visit National League South club Salisbury.
TNT Sports 2, HBO Max, BBC Two and iPlayer have elected to show that game live, meaning it has been moved to Sunday, December 6 with a 12.15pm kick-off.
Speaking before training on Thursday, Blackpool head coach Ian Evatt was fully prepared for the prospect of the tie being shown to a wider audience.
He said: “The media will be baying for blood once again but we have an opportunity to get through to the next round.”
As for the Coasters, their reward for winning at Harrogate Town in round one is a home match with League One promotion chasers Luton Town.
Their visit to Mill Farm will be shown by TNT Sports 1 and HBO Max, and has also been moved to the 6th with a 2.30pm kick-off.
In all, eight of the 20 ties have been chosen for live coverage with each of the clubs featuring in those broadcasts receiving a fee of £60,000.
The winning and losing clubs in the second round will receive £79,500 and £21,200 respectively from the competition prize fund.
