The FA Cup final will be given the 3D treatment, with ESPN's coverage of the world's most historic club football cup being shown on Sky 3D.

The FA Cup final – between mega-rich Manchester City and plucky underdogs Stoke City – is on 14 May, and will be screened on ESPN, ITV and now Sky 3D.

Sky 3D is available to anyone on Sky's World package and a 3D capable television, and the game will also be shown in 3D in a host of pubs across the UK.

Proud

"Bringing ESPN 3D's production of great events like the FA Cup Final the Winter X Games and more to fans on Sky 3D will help showcase the new dimension that technology has made possible."

High quality
