About FA Cup Fixtures

The FA Cup fixtures are announced in stages throughout the season. The FA Cup first round proper draw typically takes place in October, with Premier League and Championship clubs entering at the third round stage in January.

The FA Cup 2026 final is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Wembley Stadium. Semi-finals are typically held in April, with the quarter-finals taking place in March. Exact dates are subject to television scheduling and potential replays.

FA Cup fixtures are determined by a random draw, with the exception that teams from the same league level cannot be drawn against each other until the third round proper. This creates opportunities for giant-killings and underdog stories.

All FA Cup fixtures are subject to change for television coverage. Matches selected for live broadcast on BBC or ITV typically move to weekends or Friday evening kick-offs. Always check official sources for the most up-to-date fixture information.
