The 2023–24 FA Cup is the 143rd season of the Football Association Challenge Cup, the oldest football tournament in the world. It is sponsored by Emirates and known as the Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship purposes.

The final is scheduled to be played on 25 May 2024 and will be contested between the defending champions, Premier League side Manchester City, and local rivals Manchester United, in a repeat of the previous final, which Manchester City won 2–1.^[2] This is the first final to feature the same teams in consecutive seasons since the 1884–85 season. The winners of the cup will qualify for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League league stage, as well as earn the right to play against the winners of the 2023–24 Premier League in the 2024 FA Community Shield.

The 2023–24 competition will be the last one to feature replays in the non-qualifying rounds, and in future the final will be played before the end of the Premier League season.^[3] The changes were made as part of a six-year agreement between the Football Association and the Premier League due to pressure on the domestic calendar from expanded UEFA competitions, but have been criticised as replays can be an important source of revenue for lower league clubs.^[4]^[5]

Teams[edit]

The FA Cup is a knockout competition with 124 teams taking part from the first round proper while all trying to reach the final at Wembley Stadium on 25 May 2024.^[6] The competition will consist of the 92 teams from the Football League system (20 teams from the Premier League and the 72 in total from the EFL Championship, EFL League One and EFL League Two) plus the 32 surviving teams out of 640 teams from the National League System that started the competition in the qualifying rounds.

All rounds will be drawn randomly, usually either at the completion of the previous round discounting any replays or on the evening of the last televised game of a round being played, depending on television broadcasting rights.

The total prize fund for the competition is £5,508,000.^[7]

Qualifying[edit]

Teams that were not members of either the Premier League or English Football League competed in the qualifying rounds to secure one of 32 available places in the first round. The six-round qualifying competition began with the extra preliminary round on 4 August 2023.

First round[edit]

The first round saw the 32 winners from the fourth qualifying round joined by the 48 clubs from League One and League Two. The draw was made on 15 October 2023 by Paul Parker and Jobi McAnuff.^[8] The round included three teams from the eighth tier, Cray Valley Paper Mills, Ramsgate and Sheppey United, the lowest-ranked teams remaining in the competition.
