The third round FA Cup ties are well underway and Leicester City are in action on Saturday afternoon at 2pm against Queens Park Rangers.

The Foxes have won the competition on just one occasion when they beat Chelsea 1-0 in the final back in 2021. A goal from former midfielder Youri Tielemans was the difference on the day as they made history.

This season, the focus for Ruud van Nistelrooy 's side is staying in the Premier League as they currently sit 19th in the standings and are at risk of relegation. Saturday's clash, however, will provide a much-needed breather from the intensity of the league campaign.

How to watch and listen to Leicester City vs QPR

32 third round ties will take place this weekend, with the last of the fixtures scheduled for Tuesday evening. Only 11 of those will be broadcast across the BBC and ITV, with seven on BBC One and iPlayer and the remaining four across ITV and ITVX.

Unfortunately for Leicester City fans, Saturday afternoon's meeting with QPR has not been selected among the TV picks. Liverpool's clash against League Two's Accrington Stanley, Salford's visit to Manchester City and the game of the weekend between Manchester United and Arsenal are among the matches picked for broadcast.

The game will be shown abroad for viewers outside of the UK, with the match be shown on ESPN+ for those in the USA and Sportsnet Now Plus in Canada. In Australia, Optus Sports has the TV rights for the FA Cup with every match to be shown exclusively on the platform.

As there will be no livestream of the game, highlights of the match will be available soon after the full-time whistle. Live audio commentary of the game will be on BBC Radio Leicester with pre-match coverage starting from 1pm.

Alternatively, supporters can keep up to date with a live text commentary from Leicestershire Live' s Jordan Blackwell.
