The 2024 FA Cup final will be a football match played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 25 May 2024 to determine the winners of the 2023–24 FA Cup. It will be the 143rd final of English football's primary cup competition in the Football Association Challenge Cup.

The final will be contested between holders Manchester City and local rivals Manchester United, in a repeat of the previous final, which City won 2–1. It is only the second time the two sides have met in the final, and is the first to feature the same teams in consecutive seasons since 1885.

The winners will earn the right to play in the league stage of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League, as well as facing the winners of the 2023–24 Premier League in the 2024 FA Community Shield.

As a Premier League team, Manchester United also entered the tournament in the third round. They began their campaign with a 2–0 away win over Wigan Athletic,^[6] before recording a 4–2 away win over Newport County.^[7] In the fifth round, United travelled to the City Ground and defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0.^[8]

In the quarter-finals, United defeated rivals Liverpool 4–3 after extra time at their home ground, Old Trafford.^[9]

In the semi-final match, also held at Wembley, United defeated Coventry City 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw, during which they squandered a 3–0 lead, to set up a Manchester derby final for a second successive season. Coventry's Victor Torp put the ball in the back of the net at the very last minute which nearly completed a remarkable comeback and would have made them the first team from outside the top flight to reach an FA Cup final since Cardiff City in 2008, but Haji Wright, who assisted the goal, was deemed offside and it was ruled out by VAR.^[10] This will be the first time United will have played in successive FA Cup finals since 2005.

Match[edit]

The FA confirmed that the 2024 final would begin at 15:00, as the previous FA Cup final did.^[11]
