FA Cup
Semi-Finals 2026
The famous Wembley semi-finals — two ties, one weekend, four clubs chasing a shot at the May 16 Final. April 18-19, 2026.
🎭 The Wembley Effect
Both FA Cup semi-finals are played at Wembley Stadium — a tradition that gives the tie a final-like atmosphere before the final itself. 90,000 fans, the arch, the occasion.
🏆 One Game, No Second Chances
Unlike league cups, the FA Cup semi-finals are one-legged — 90 minutes to reach Wembley again. Extra time and penalties if level. No way back from an early goal.
📅 April 18-19 Weekend
One semi-final Saturday, one on Sunday. The Premier League takes a back seat as Wembley hosts England's oldest and most prestigious cup competition.
🏅 Road to the May 16 Final
Winners return to Wembley on May 16 for the FA Cup Final. Lifting the trophy at Wembley in May is one of English football's great prizes — £5m+ prize money and European qualification.
