The FA Cup, inaugurated in 1872, is the oldest football competition in the world, its final played at Wembley Stadium most years since the ground reopened in 2007.
The FA Cup Final, the last match of the oldest football competition in the world, is played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 22 May 2027.
The FA Cup was inaugurated in 1872, earlier than every league and every international tournament in the game. Its final has been played at Wembley for most of the last century.
The fixture moved to Cardiff between 2001 and 2006 while the stadium was rebuilt. It returned on 19 May 2007 to open the new ground, and it is regularly one of the best-attended club matches played in England.
Every round pairs clubs at random, with no seeding and no second leg, so a non-league side can be drawn at a Premier League ground and occasionally wins there. The bracket that ends at Wembley in May starts in August, far down the pyramid.
The 2027 semi-finals are played at the same ground four weeks earlier, on 24 April. The two finalists are known a month before the final.
