FA Cup Final 2020: What time is kick-off and what TV channel is it on?

Following coronavirus lockdown restrictions putting a hold on football, it’s now finally time for the FA Cup Final 2020.

It’s the 139th time the event has been held, and tonight sees Arsenal and Chelsea battle it out for the trophy.

The FA Cup Final has been one of the most attended domestic football events in the world, with an official attendance of 89,472 at the 2017 final.

However this year's event will be an exception due to the coronavirus lockdown measures in place.

The Gunners have won the competition more times than any other team with 13 wins, while Chelsea has won it eight times, placing them in third position.

But when it comes to the Premier League, Arsenal finished in eighth spot so they won’t be able to qualify for the Europa League if they lose tonight at Wembley.

Here’s what you need to know about the FA Cup Final taking place tonight:
