About the FA Cup 25/26 Fixtures

Latest FA Cup Results, Highlights, Commentary

Get all the latest FA Cup live football results from LiveScore, providers of fast football live score content.

Many fans may not know that the FA Cup journey begins as early as August 1st. This is when the extra preliminary rounds for amateur and semi-professional clubs get underway. The 'proper' rounds, when bigger clubs join, started on October 31st, 2025, with the final match scheduled for May 16th, 2026, at Wembley Stadium.


At LiveScore, you can follow all the FA Cup fixtures, from the qualifying rounds right through to the final. As it is a one-leg knockout cup, the fixtures for each new round are published immediately after the FA Cup draw is made.


At first glance, our fixture list provides the essential information: the date and kick-off time. You may also see a headphone icon on some tabs, which indicates that live audio commentary is available for that match.


However, we understand you need more than that to make informed predictions. That is why we invite you to click on any fixture to get deeper insights. To explain, we will use the fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool, scheduled for April 4th, 2026, as an example:


  • Info: Here you will find basic information about the match. For example, the head referee will be Michael Oliver, and the game will be played at the Etihad Stadium.

  • Line-ups: The starting line-ups are a crucial feature for the FA Cup. Managers like Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta often use the competition to give younger players a chance, even in the later stages. Here, you can see the starting players, the team's formation, and the substitutes available to come on.

  • Head-to-Head: In this section, you can find the H2H results between the two teams from the last few years, covering all competitions. For instance, you might see that Manchester City won the last two games, but Liverpool was more successful in the two "battles" before that. This section also allows you to check the recent results of both teams to gauge their current form.
