Manchester City and Chelsea will clash in the final of the 2025-26 FA Cup on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London. City advanced to the final by beating Southampton in the semifinals, and Chelsea overcame Premier League rivals Leeds United to book their spot in the final of the world's oldest national soccer competition.
City will play in their fourth straight FA Cup final, with their last title coming in 2023. City fell to Manchester United and then Crystal Palace in the tournament's past two finals matches.
Chelsea have won seven of their eight FA Cup titles over the past 30 years, and even reached five of six finals between 2017 and 2022. They did, however, lose three finals in a row during that period and haven't lifted the trophy since 2018.
