The final was played at Wembley Stadium, London, on 17 May 2025. Crystal Palace won the tournament for the first time, defeating Manchester City in the final and winning their first ever major trophy. As the winners, Crystal Palace earned the right to play against the 2024–25 Premier League champions, Liverpool, in the 2025 FA Community Shield, as well as qualifying for the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League play-off round.^[3][4][5][6] For City, this was their third consecutive FA Cup final appearance, and second consecutive defeat.

Defending champions Manchester United, having beaten rivals Manchester City in the 2024 final to win their 13th title, were eliminated by Fulham in the fifth round.

Teams

The FA Cup is a knockout competition with 124 teams taking part from the first round proper, and all trying to reach the final at Wembley Stadium on 17 May 2025.^[2] The competition consists of the 92 teams from the Football League system (20 teams from the Premier League and the 72 in total from the EFL Championship, EFL League One and EFL League Two) plus the 32 surviving teams out of 653 teams from the National League System that started the competition in the qualifying rounds. The total 745 entrants was an increase of 13 from the previous season,^[2] and the most since 758 entrants were accepted in 2012–13.

All rounds were drawn randomly, usually at the completion of the previous round (discounting any last games of a round being played), depending on television broadcasting rights.

Rule changes

This is the first edition of the tournament to be played without replays in the proper rounds since the 2020–21 FA Cup and the first edition of the tournament to have the final played one week before the end of the Premier League season.^[7] The changes were made as part of a six-year agreement between The Football Association and the Premier League due to pressure on the domestic calendar from expanded UEFA competitions, but were criticised since replays were cited as an important source of revenue for lower league clubs.^[8][9] The agreement saw all round dates return to weekends,^[1] with previous editions having had some dates in midweek.

VAR will be used in all matches from the fifth round onwards (and none prior), whereas in previous seasons it was used for all matches held in Premier League grounds and at Wembley Stadium.^[10]
