Buy FA Cup tickets for the 2026/27 season with Football Ticket Pad and watch your team compete in the oldest national football competition in the world.
The FA Cup brings together clubs throughout the English football pyramid, creating match-ups that would rarely happen during the regular league season. Premier League clubs can find themselves travelling to lower-league grounds, while smaller teams get the opportunity to play against some of the biggest names in English football.
Football Ticket Pad lists FA Cup tickets as fixtures are confirmed throughout the tournament, including tickets for Premier League teams, knockout rounds, semi-finals and the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

FA Cup tickets can give supporters a different matchday experience to Premier League football. Cup ties are decided by progression rather than league points, with one team moving closer to Wembley and the other seeing their FA Cup campaign come to an end.
Demand depends heavily on the draw. A Premier League team facing lower-league opposition may provide a more affordable opportunity to visit a major stadium, while derbies and matches between leading clubs can attract much higher demand.
Football Ticket Pad gives supporters the opportunity to compare FA Cup tickets based on price, stadium location and quantity before choosing the option that suits them.
FA Cup 2026/27
The 2026/27 FA Cup began with the Extra Preliminary Round in August 2026 and will continue throughout the English football season before the final at Wembley in May 2027.
Qualifying rounds give non-league clubs the opportunity to earn their place in the main competition before EFL clubs and Premier League teams enter at later stages.
Premier League clubs enter the competition in the Third Round Proper, which is one of the most anticipated weekends in the English football calendar.
The third round can produce everything from matches between Premier League rivals to top-flight teams travelling to small lower-league and non-league grounds. It is these unusual fixtures that continue to give the FA Cup much of its appeal.
Who Are the Current FA Cup Holders?
Manchester City are the reigning FA Cup champions after beating Chelsea 1-0 in the 2026 final at Wembley Stadium.
Antoine Semenyo scored the only goal of the match, converting Erling Haaland's cross in the second half to give Manchester City their eighth FA Cup.
City therefore enter the 2026/27 competition looking to retain the trophy and add another FA Cup to their honours.
The Magic of the FA Cup
The FA Cup has built its reputation on unexpected results. Clubs separated by several divisions can be drawn against each other, creating opportunities for lower-league teams to test themselves against Premier League opposition.
These matches are commonly known as giant-killings when the underdog wins, and they remain one of the main reasons supporters follow the competition.
The FA Cup has produced countless examples throughout its history, with leading English clubs being knocked out by teams from lower divisions. For supporters of smaller clubs, a home draw against Premier League opposition can become one of the biggest matches in the club's recent history.
For supporters of Premier League clubs, the competition can also provide opportunities to visit unfamiliar grounds and watch their team face opposition they rarely meet.
FA Cup Third Round Tickets
The Third Round Proper is where Premier League clubs enter the FA Cup, making it one of the biggest stages of the competition.
The 2026/27 FA Cup Third Round Proper is scheduled for the weekend of Saturday 9 January 2027.
The draw can create local derbies, all-Premier League matches and fixtures between top-flight clubs and teams much further down the English football pyramid.
Ticket demand can vary considerably depending on the draw. Check the individual fixture page once matches are confirmed for current prices and availability.
FA Cup Knockout Tickets
Interest in FA Cup tickets generally increases as the competition moves towards its later rounds and the possibility of reaching Wembley becomes more realistic.
After the third round, surviving clubs continue through the fourth and fifth rounds before reaching the quarter-finals.
The quarter-finals are particularly important because the winners move within one victory of the FA Cup final.
Matches between major Premier League clubs can attract high demand at this stage, while a lower-league team reaching the latter rounds can create one of the biggest fixtures in that club's season.
FA Cup Semi-Final Tickets
The FA Cup semi-finals are traditionally played at Wembley Stadium, giving four clubs the opportunity to play at the national stadium before the final.
For many supporters, particularly those following clubs that do not regularly reach major finals, an FA Cup semi-final can be one of the biggest matchdays of the season.
Demand for FA Cup semi-final tickets depends on the teams involved, with matches featuring clubs with large supporter bases often selling particularly quickly.
Once the semi-final draw and fixture details are confirmed, check Football Ticket Pad for the latest available ticket listings.
FA Cup Final Tickets 2027
The 2027 FA Cup final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 22 May 2027.
The final brings together the last two remaining clubs for one match to decide who lifts the FA Cup.
FA Cup final tickets are among the most sought-after domestic football tickets in England, particularly once the finalists have been confirmed.
Wembley provides a neutral setting for the showpiece, with supporters from both clubs travelling to London for one of the biggest dates in the English football calendar.
Football Ticket Pad lists FA Cup final tickets subject to availability, allowing supporters to compare different seating options and prices for the match.
