Southampton will don a special yellow and blue kit for their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Arsenal, paying tribute to the club's history in the competition. The change from their usual red and white stripes is a nod to the 1976 FA Cup final, when Southampton famously beat Manchester United 1-0 wearing the same colours.
The kit has been worn throughout Southampton's FA Cup campaign this season, with the team progressing past Walsall, Watford, and Burnley to reach the last eight. The quarter-final against Arsenal is scheduled for this weekend, with the winner advancing to the semi-finals at Wembley.
Southampton's decision to adopt the retro kit has been well received by fans, who see it as a fitting tribute to the club's greatest FA Cup triumph. The 1976 victory remains the only major trophy in Southampton's history, and the yellow and blue strip is synonymous with that achievement.
The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, which holds the rights to select FA Cup fixtures. Fans can also stream the game via the TNT Sports Prime Video channel. A monthly subscription to TNT Sports includes access to Champions League, Europa League, and Premier League matches.
