FA Cup replays scrapped, final to be played on penultimate...
The FA Cup has scrapped replays from the first round proper from the 2024-25 season in a six-year agreement to restructure the competition. The 2025 FA Cup final will be played on the Saturday of the weekend of the Premier League's matchday 37.
This decision marks a significant change in the format of the FA Cup, aiming to reduce fixture congestion and provide a more streamlined competition for teams and fans alike. With replays eliminated, teams will have to give their all in each match, knowing that there will be no second chances.
