Cobblers' FA Cup tie at Oxford City selected for live TV coverage

Cobblers' FA Cup first-round tie with Oxford City has been moved to Monday, November 9, and will be broadcast live on BT Sport.

Town were drawn against the National League South outfit in Monday's first-round draw and the tie will now kick-off at 7.45pm on November 9 at Court Place Farm.

The change of date means Northampton's EFL Trophy - or Papa John's Trophy, as it is now known - game with Stevenage, previously scheduled to be played on Tuesday, November 10, will now be played the following week, on November 17, at the earlier time of 7pm.

Both Oxford City and Northampton will receive £32,500 in broadcast fees, with all first-round winners collecting £16,972, reduced from £36,000 last season.

It is the second time in two seasons that the Cobblers have been selected for live TV coverage after their fourth-round tie against Derby County last season was also broadcast by BT Sport.

Oxford, currently managed by former Peterborough, Man City and Luton player David Oldfield, have defeated Royal Wootton Bassett, Tamworth and Weymouth in the competition so far. It is the fourth year in succession they have reached this stage of the FA Cup.

The first-round tie, to be hosted by Oxford's artificial surface at Court Place Farm, will be played behind closed doors.
