When is the FA Cup final?
The FA Cup final will be held at Wembley Stadium, on Saturday, June 3, 2023.
After a goalless draw on Sunday, Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag overcame Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi on penalties in the semifinals. They will face Premier League title contenders Manchester City, who defeated Championship side Sheffield United 3-0 on Saturday thanks to a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick.
The FA Cup final this year will be historic, as Manchester’s two largest clubs have never met in the final before. Their previous meeting at Wembley Stadium came in August 2011, when Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United defeated City 3-2 to win the Community Shield.
It’s also the first time the main event will be held in June rather than May. Previous finals have taken place in March, April, and August. This year’s FA Cup final is set for an early kick-off of 7:30 pm as compared to the game between Liverpool and Chelsea last season which began at 9:15 pm.
The Metropolitan Police are concerned about potential conflicts between rival fans, as well as the prospect of more than 80,000 fans returning north late at night. According to Mail Sport, the Football Association is satisfied with the police recommendation and judgement. Despite the fact that the later start is viewed as more advantageous to sponsors and advertisers.
