The Football Association has set the 2025/26 FA Cup final for Saturday, May 16, at 15:00 BST at Wembley Stadium. The match—featuring the winners of the Chelsea vs Leeds United and Manchester City vs Southampton semi-finals—will air live on BBC One, TNT Sports and HBO Max.
This season's FA Cup, with 124 teams, has delivered drama including non-league Macclesfield's shock elimination of holders Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals. The FA confirmed the final's date and kick-off ahead of the semi-finals, ensuring fans can plan for the climax. Last season, Crystal Palace lifted the trophy by beating Manchester City at Wembley.
