Emirates FA Cup Final 2020/21: Why BT Sport is THE best place to watch Chelsea vs Leicester

Chelsea hope to mark their fourth FA Cup final in five years with a win over Leicester, making their first appearance at this stage of the tournament since 1969, in Saturday’s Wembley showpiece.

We should be in for an absolute cracker and BT Sport customers can enjoy an unmatched viewing experience as the curtain comes down on the world's most famous domestic cup competition.

The match will be broadcast using the latest technology, offering the best picture and sound available on BT Sport Ultimate, incorporating 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos.

Viewers can also use the enhanced player and 360° cameras on the BT Sport app for mobile and tablet, as well as on BTSport.com.

And with the addition of industry-leading features like Matchday Live and Watch Together, you can control more of your viewing experience than ever before!

What’s more, BT Sport is your destination for the most in-depth analysis, interviews and insights from our stellar line-up of pundits as they preview the game and dissect all the post-match talking points.

BT Sport’s superb broadcast capabilities will enhance what promises to be an unmissable final.

Chelsea look to celebrate a remarkable turnaround in their fortunes under new manager Thomas Tuchel by securing their first piece of silverware under the German coach.

The former PSG boss has enjoyed nothing short of a dream start since succeeding Frank Lampard in the Stamford Bridge hot seat, overseeing Chelsea's steady rise up the Premier League table alongside a remarkable run to the upcoming Champions League final.

The Blues reached the FA Cup final the hard way last month, dispatching Pep Guardiola's imposing Manchester City side, who they meet again in the Champions League, in the semi-finals thanks to Hakim Ziyech's goal.

Leicester, meanwhile, hope Brendan Rodgers' ambitions will be vindicated by a trophy of their own as they seek to lift the FA Cup for the first time ever.

The Foxes have lost in the final on four previous occasions but have not reached this stage of the competition for more than 50 years.

It took a second-half goal from the in-form Kelechi Iheanacho to see off Southampton in the last round and Leicester will be desperate to ensure they don't miss a golden opportunity to end their FA Cup drought.

We're all set for an unmissable afternoon at Wembley and here are the reasons you should watch it all on BT Sport.

Matchday Experience

There are a number of innovative and immersive features that belong to the Matchday Experience we're delighted to bring to BT Sport subscribers.

Watch Together

The best way for fans to enjoy live sport with their friends and family in the UK right now. 

Using a split-screen interface, app users can watch any BT Sport live broadcast along with three other subscribers.

Any BT Sport customer can create their own Watch Together room and invite anyone else who is also a BT Sport customer to join them to create a unique match-viewing experience. 

BT Sport 360°

BT Sport was the first in the world to offer live sports in a 360° view and the enhanced Matchday Experience provides picture quality never seen before.

A new “pinch and zoom” functionality enables you to home in on desired areas of interest to recreate the feeling of being at the ground. 360° offers viewers the chance to select different camera angles and viewpoints not normally seen in TV broadcasts.

It also provides a completely different viewing experience from the usual fixed-camera positions, allowing you to look around in all directions. 

Matchday Live

Witness team line-ups, formations and in-game stats brought to life through stunning Augmented Reality from wherever you're watching the action using your supported device.

Please note this feature is for iOS devices only - it will be made available on Android soon

Manager Mode

BT Sport app users have the choice of adding real-time graphics to their viewing experience.

The feature provides informative and insightful stats such as names, speeds, and a mini-map tracking the positions of all players for a unique tactical viewpoint.

BT Sport's shot velocity trackers is also now available so Manager Mode users can track every effort on goal during the match.

BT Sport Ultimate

Customers with compatible devices can enjoy the very best viewing experience available on BT Sport Ultimate.

It delivers pictures and sound in ultra-high definition (4K UHD), high dynamic range (HDR) and - exclusively via BT TV - Dolby Atmos sound (depending on which platform viewers are using).

All of this means viewers tuning into Saturday’s match can see the likes of Jamie Vardy and Mason Mount in spectacular, crystal-clear quality, soundtracked by a cinematic audio experience as Leicester and Chelsea make the trip to Wembley.

It’s also great news for fans watching on the go. HDR transforms the sports viewing experience on mobile devices, maximising the colour and definition capabilities of smartphones and tablets.
