Want to know how to stream the FA Cup final from anywhere for free right now? The competition may feel somewhat diminished in recent years, but there remains something very special about FA Cup Final day. The players arriving at Wembley in matching suits, Abide With Me being sung before kick-off, players' handshakes (or will it now be elbow bumps?) with royalty. This year two of the English game's biggest clubs will do battle and we'll make sure that you don't miss it with our guide to getting a free live stream of Arsenal vs Chelsea in the 2020 FA Cup Final wherever you today.
Although Frank Lampard's Chelsea finished a clear four places ahead of their London rivals in the Premier League, this one-off spectacle still feels too close to call - Arsenal, after all, have won the FA Cup more times than any other club.
Lampard will likely see England international Mason Mount as a key man today, with World Cup winner N’Golo Kante likely to join him in midfield after a long lay off from injury. Olivier Giroud made a real impact on Chelsea's push for Champions League places since football's post-lockdown return and Willian's wizardry will be another key to unlocking the Gunners' defence. One big question mark will hang over the number 1 shirt, where Willy Caballero may just get the nod over Kepa.
Arsenal had yet another topsy-turvy Premier Leage campaign, but vibes at the Emirates under Arteta feel positive. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ended the campaign as second-top scorer with 22 goals, and the North Londoners will hope he's on target at Wembley today. As ever, some attention will be on the unpredictable David Luiz in defence and whether he'll have a blinder or a shocker - he has two FA Cup winners medals at home already, so knows how to get the job done at Wembley.
We're all set for a 5.30pm BST kick-off, so get ready to settle down with an Arsenal vs Chelsea live stream. Watching the FA Cup Final in the UK is easy, but we'll also tell you how a VPN can come to your rescue if you're trying to watch from overseas.
