Leicester City vs Southampton live stream: how to watch FA Cup semi-final online

History awaits Brenden Rodgers and Ralph Hasenhuttl as both managers aim for a long awaited place in the final of the world's most famous domestic cup competition. Follow our guide for all the ways to watch a Leicester City vs Southampton live stream, and watch this FA Cup semi-final, where it's being shown exclusively in the US on ESPN Plus (opens in new tab).

A win here would put the Foxes in their first FA Cup final since 1963 and would cap a fine season for the East Midlands club. Still battling out for a place in the top 4, Leicester's run to today's match at Wembley has been a tough one, with the Foxes having to negotiate tricky ties against Stoke City, Brentford, Brighton and, finally, Manchester United.

Southampton's journey has been equally as impressive with wins over Arsenal, Wolves and South Coast rivals Bournemouth to reach the last four.

Both teams' preparations coming into this crucial game have been less than ideal, however, with both the Foxes and the Saints enduring damaging defeats in the Premier League last weekend.

Here's how to get a Leicester City vs Southampton live stream and watch this FA Cup semi-final fixture online in the US today.
