What channel is Port Vale v Sunderland FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Port Vale v Sunderland in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
League One strugglers Port Vale will be hunting a second FA Cup upset inside a week when Sunderland visit Vale Park in the fifth round on Sunday.
The hosts knocked Championship side Bristol City out with an extra-time victory on Tuesday evening and now take aim at a Premier League club.
Vale Park's muddy pitch will serve as something of a leveller but they'll need to draw on huge helpings of the magic of the cup if they're to reach the quarter-finals.
Sunderland have been the Premier League's surprise package this season and can allow themselves to dream of a shot at silverware in the FA Cup.
The Black Cats have not been particularly convincing in the competition so far, beating Everton on penalties and edging past Oxford, but are now within striking distance of the quarter-finals.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Port Vale v Sunderland on TV and online.
