Club Chairman -Trevor Bull - says it's a big deal.
Some filming for the programme has already taken place this week and interviews with the players are being recorded on Saturday morning, but the show itself is going to be hosted live from the ground, Trevor says the whole ground will be acting as the studio.
Football Focus will be live on BBC1 from midday until 1pm, Boro then have a game against Southport from 3pm.
Trevor says fans will be able to get into the ground from 11am to watch the filming and the game.
The show will be broadcast outside in several locations including the pitch, the dug outs, the Boro gates and the balcony. The Victory Bar will be open at 11am with live music from Scarborough band "The Feens" who will be staging a special performance as part of the programme.
Freddie from the Feens says its a great opportunity
The TV show will be focusing on the non-league game and one of the elements that drew the BBC to broadcast from the Scarborough Club is undoubtedly it's fan ownership model. Trevor says the extra publicity surrounding the TV broadcast has further bolstered the take up of the annual membership packages.
Early admission for home supporters will be from 11am
Entry will be via The Victory Bar gate for season pass holders and pre-purchased tickets and via the Boro Gate turnstiles for cash and card payments. Supporters are being encouraged to buy tickets in advance online to avoid the queues at https://scarboroughathleticfc.ktckts.com/event/sca2223h20/southport-fc
The clubhouse will be strictly for hospitality, players and officials only until 1pm.
If you can't make it to the ground on Saturday the live broadcast of football Focus will be on BBC One from midday, there will be live commentary on the game against Southport on This is the Coast Extra from just before 3pm.
