The domestic broadcasting rights for the competition were held by the subscription channel Sky Sports, who have held rights to the competition since 1996–97. During this season, Sky had exclusive live broadcasting rights, as the BBC lost the shared live rights it had in the previous season. The BBC could, however, show highlights of matches from each round.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12965536 |title=Sky Sports and Football League agree £195m deal |work=BBC News |date=4 April 2011}}
