FA Cup: Latest news, fixtures and match reports

Want fast, clear FA Cup coverage without the fluff? You’re in the right place. Here we track fixtures, results, key lineups and the moments that matter — giant-killings, late winners and the players who shine on cup nights.

The FA Cup can change a club’s season in one game. Lower-league teams get their day, big clubs rotate and young players grab the spotlight. If you follow Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal or any other side, check our match reports for quick takeaways: who scored, who underperformed and what the win or loss means next.

How we cover FA Cup matches

We keep it short and useful. Before a game you’ll find the likely lineups, form notes and a short preview. After the final whistle we post a clear match summary with the key moments and a player or two who made the difference. Expect quick score updates, tactical notes and links to highlights when available.

Want to follow live? Use our fixture list on the tag page to know kick-off times and broadcasters. If a match goes to extra time or penalties, we’ll note that. For big ties, we add context — how the result affects league focus, squad rotation or a manager’s job security.

Practical tips for fans

Planning to watch or attend a tie? Check TV listings early — domestic broadcasters often split rights across channels or streaming platforms. For tickets, the best approach is to buy from the club’s official sale or trusted resale sites; avoid last-minute scalpers. If you travel for a match, factor in longer queues and extra security checks on cup days.

Predicting winners? Look beyond club names. Home advantage, weather and squad rotation matter. A top-flight team may rest starters for league games, opening the door for upsets. Keep an eye on team news the day before kick-off.

Love the drama? FA Cup nights are full of it: stoppage-time goals, underdogs celebrating and veterans producing big moments. We highlight standout performances and the best quotes so you get the mood of the match without extra reading.

Use this tag to find every FA Cup story we post — previews, full reports and analysis. Bookmark the page, follow our social feeds for instant alerts, and check back after kick-off for results and a smart recap that tells you what actually matters.

Have a tip or want coverage of a specific tie? Reach out via our contact options and we’ll try to include it. The FA Cup is unpredictable — and that’s why we love covering it.
