While we certainly love a Manchester derby, it's a blessed relief to see some new blood in the mix for this year's FA Cup Final.

In fact, it's safe to say that, as a competition known for its huge twist and giant-killing moments, the 2025 cup is back on top form.

With the quarter-finals over and done with, and the semi-finals taking place last weekend, we're itching to see which of the four teams will be stepping out onto the pitch at Wembley Stadium this May.

Manchester City have returned to the race following last year's defeat by United, but they have been joined by a range of let's say Premier League irregulars: Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest.

With all this in mind, fans are waiting with bated breath to see if their side will make the long-march back to London. So, how about some tickets?

Tickets are now available for the FA Cup final, so if it's your goal to get them, we're here to help you score.

The semi-final stage of the FA Cup took place last weekend.

Nottingham Forest took on Man City and lost 2-0, and Crystal Palace beat Aston Villa 3-0.

Which means, the FA Cup final round will be between Crystal Palace and Man City.

What is the date of the FA Cup Final 2025?

This year's FA Cup Final is set for 17th May 2025.

Last year’s FA Cup Final kicked off at 3pm (BST), so we can expect a similar time for this year. The gates normally open earlier that morning – around 10am – giving fans plenty of time to get in and explore.

How to get tickets to the FA Cup Final 2025

Getting tickets to the FA Cup final is always a tricky affair as the majority of seats will go to fans or season ticket holders of the finalist clubs. To get them at face value, you often have to be considered a “loyal fan” and have proof that you’ve attended most of the matches for that season. There will also be lotteries and competitions nearer the final date, but of course these can be very unpredictable.

So for those of you who really don't want to miss the action, we recommend taking a look at hospitality tickets from official partners Seat Unique and P1 Travel. While these come at a higher price point, there's far less demand for them which means you're more likely to be able to get your hands on a spot. Plus, they include plenty of perks such as premium seating and food and drink.

LiveFootballTickets also has seats still available for the FA Cup Final. This ticketing site has over 15,000 5-star reviews at Trustpilot, and has been helping football fans secure tickets for the past 15 years.

Or, you can always try your hand at Ticombo. Although we wouldn’t usually advise going to resale sites, this has a 4.7-star rating from Trustpilot and currently have tickets available for the final and semi-finals.

How much do FA Cup Final tickets cost?

Based on last year’s prices, the cheapest ticket for the match will cost £35, while the most expensive ticket at Wembley Stadium is £250.

If you’re looking at hospitality or re-sale prices, you’re going to be paying a lot more, so just be aware of your budget before tickets come out. For example, at the time of writing (Tuesday 29th April), tickets at Seat Unique will set you back from £1,499 for the final.

Elsewhere, FA Cup final tickets will cost from £147.48 at LiveFootballTickets.
