Hull City vs Chelsea promises to be a fascinating FA Cup 4th Round tie as Liam Rosenior returns to the MKM Stadium for the first time since his departure in May 2024. Four Four Two brings you all the details on live streams and TV channels, wherever you are in the world. • Date: Friday, 13 February 2026 • Kick-off time: 19: 45pm GMT / 14: 45pm ET • Venue: MKM Stadium, Hull • TV & streaming: BBC One (UK), ESPN Select (US), Stan Sport (Australia) • FREE stream: BBC i Player (UK) • Watch from anywhere: Nord VPN ($50 free Amazon gift card included) The former Strasbourg manager was dismissed by Hull after narrowly missing out on the Championship play-offs, and he will be eager to get one over on his former employers. The Tigers, meanwhile, will be targeting a place in the fifth round for the first time since 2017–18, when they were subsequently knocked out by the Blues. Read on as Four Four Two brings you all the information on how to watch Hull vs Chelsea online, on TV, and from anywhere. ▶︎ Stream Hull vs Chelsea FREE on BBC i Player The BBC are showing at least two matches from each round of the FA Cup in 2025/26 and that includes Friday's game.

Aside from the Liam Rosenior subplot, Hull vs Chelsea has become a familiar FA Cup pairing in recent years. This will be the third meeting between the sides in the past eight years, and the Tigers have struggled in the previous two, falling to 2-1 and 4-0 defeats against the Blues. Even so, Sergi Jakirovic will believe his team can cause problems on Friday night. Hull arrive in strong form, with four wins from their last six matches, and currently sit fourth in the Championship as they eye a potential promotion push. The last time they looked this convincing was under Rosenior in 2023/24. For Chelsea, the priority will simply be to get the job done. They eased past Charlton in the previous round and will be targeting a similarly professional performance at the MKM Stadium. Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo could all be handed a rest, potentially opening the door for squad players to impress. Liam Delap, in particular, may relish the chance to find the net against his former club. Whatever the line-up, this won't be a simple task for Chelsea and Hull will hope that the home crowd can make the difference as they look to upset the Blues and bring a bit of that FA Cup magic. Hull City 1-4 Chelsea Chelsea will huff and puff, but a late flurry of goals will take them to a 4–1 win against Hull. We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses.
