FA Cup: Latest News, Fixtures & Match Reports

Want straight-up FA Cup news without the fluff? You’re in the right place. The FA Cup is full of drama — big teams, surprise upsets and moments you’ll be talking about all week. On this tag page we gather everything that matters: match reports, lineups, reactions, and the key clips you don’t want to miss.

How we cover the FA Cup

We focus on what fans actually need. After each match you’ll find a clear report that answers three things: what happened, why it mattered, and what changes next for the teams involved. Expect quick score updates, standout player notes, and practical takeaways — for example, whether a manager’s tactics worked or if a young player deserves a starting spot next week.

We don’t do long-winded recaps. If there’s controversy — a refereeing call or a late swing in momentum — we call it out and show the clips or quotes that explain it. If a lower-league side pulls off an upset, we highlight the moments that made it possible: set-piece routines, defensive lapses or a goalkeeper putting in a man-of-the-match performance.
