The final was rescheduled for 27 September 2020 however this was postponed as the FA hoped to have spectators in the final. The date was then agreed for 3 May 2021 behind closed doors as a suitable solution could not be reached to be played with fans.[2]
The match was broadcast live and free-to-air on BT Sport.[3] Presenter Matt Smith was joined by pundits Danny Cowley and Nicky Cowley, with Jeff Brazier as the sideline reporter.[4] The commentary team consisted of Adam Summerton and Adam Virgo.[5] Radio commentary was provided by BBC Essex and BBC Radio York.[6]
Before the match, soprano Emily Haig sang "God Save the Queen".[5] Players from both teams took a knee immediately prior to kick-off, in support of the No Room For Racism campaign.[5]
Owing to being promoted out of the National League after the postponement of the final, Harrogate made history by becoming the first Football League side to win the trophy.[7] They held the cup for less than three weeks, as the 2021 final took place on 22 May.[8]
