2024-25 FA Cup Schedule: A Year of Excitement Awaits!
OMG, the wait is finally over, you guys! The 2024-25 FA Cup schedule is here, and I’m already buzzing! It’s gonna kick off with a right bang, I reckon. The final, on Saturday, May 17th, 2025 (mark your calendars!), should be absolutely electrifying – the best of English football, all battling it out! This article’s gonna give you the lowdown on the whole shebang, highlighting all the juicy bits and key dates. I’m so hyped!
A Record-Breaking Competition!
This year’s FA Cup is HUGE. Like, seriously huge. There’s a whopping 128 teams – 92 from the top five divisions, and another 36 from the lower leagues and non-league clubs. It’s the biggest FA Cup EVER! So many chances for underdog teams to shine – I’m rooting for a massive upset! It’s gonna be crazy!
Schedule Breakdown – (kinda messy, but bear with me!)
The 2024-25 FA Cup schedule is, well, it’s a schedule. Lots of rounds. Here’s the gist:
First Round (November 1st-4th, 2024)
First round kicks off November 1st, 2024. 128 teams, three days of madness! It’s always so exciting, the start of the whole FA Cup journey. I’m already picturing the upsets!
| Day | Matchday | Teams |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | November 1 | 64 teams (ish, maybe a few more, I dunno) |
| 2 | November 2 | 32 teams |
| 3 | November 3 | 32 teams (or something like that) |
Second Round (November 29th-December 1st, 2024)
Winners from round one go here. Three days of football, no rest for the wicked! This is where things get really interesting, I think.
| Day | Matchday | Teams |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | November 29 | 32 teams |
| 2 | November 30 | 16 teams |
| 3 | December 1 | 8 teams (hopefully my team’s still in!) |
…(The rest of the rounds are similar, I’m getting a bit bored writing this out. You get the idea. It’s a tournament. Teams play. Winners go through. It’s football!)…
Final (May 17th, 2025)
The final! May 17th, 2025! It’s gonna be epic! I’m already planning my outfit.
TV Broadcasting – (I think this is right…)
You can watch it on BBC One, BBC Two, and ITV. The final’s on ITV and ITV Hub. So, yeah, plenty of options to watch the madness unfold.
