Final: Chelsea v Manchester City
Live coverage of the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City. Between them, they have lifted the trophy on 15 occasions, but this is the first time they have faced each other in the final.
Live coverage of the 2025/26 FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City from Wembley Stadium. Manchester City are the first club in history to reach the final four years in a row, but they were beaten by Manchester United in 2024 and by Crystal Palace in 2025. Under Pep Guardiola, they’ve lifted the famous old trophy on two occasions, in 2019 and 2023.
Chelsea’s last FA Cup win came in 2018 when they beat Manchester United. It’s been a turbulent season for the club, with managers Enzo Maresca and Liam Rosenior both being sacked, so the FA Cup represents a last shot at silverware. Manchester City are chasing a Wembley double having already claimed the League Cup this season.
These two teams have won the FA Cup 15 times between them, but they’ve never faced each other in a FA Cup Final.
