The FA Cup final between Manchester City and Crystal Palace is set for 16:30 BST on May 17, 2024, at Wembley. The timing was arranged with input from clubs, broadcasters, and safety authorities. Previous finals faced scheduling conflicts causing empty seats; last year's semi saw many fans unable to attend due to costs and the late Sunday match time. In 2024, spectators will have sufficient time to return to Manchester post-match. This final marks Cityâs third consecutive appearance, while Crystal Palace seeks their first FA Cup title after advancing with a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
The FA Cup final will kick off at 16:30 BST on Saturday, 17 May at Wembley, following collaboration with clubs, broadcasters, and local authorities.
The timing of the match has been a point of contention, especially after last year's semi-final showed thousands of empty seats due to costs and scheduling.
