Premier League side Leicester City were the holders, having beaten Chelsea in the 2021 FA Cup Final.[2] They were eliminated by Nottingham Forest in the fourth round.
Liverpool beat the two-time defending runners-up Chelsea on penalties in the final to win their 8th FA Cup overall and first since 2006.[3] This was the fifth FA Cup final that has gone to extra time, with Chelsea becoming the first team to lose three consecutive finals.[4] As winners, Liverpool would have qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League group stage; however, as they had already qualified for European competition via the league standings, the spot was passed down to the 6th-placed Premier League team.
The FA Cup is a knockout competition with 124 teams taking part (excluding those eliminated in the qualifying rounds) all trying to reach the Final at Wembley in May 2022. The competitors 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 637 teams from the National League System (levels 5–10 of the English football league system) that started the competition in qualifying rounds.[5]
All rounds are drawn randomly, usually either at the completion of the previous round or on the evening of the last televised game of a round being played, depending on television broadcasting rights.

The third round featured all 44 clubs across the Premier League and the Championship, who entered the competition in this round, along with the 20 winners from the second round. The draw was held on 6 December 2021 at Wembley Stadium, and was done by David Seaman and Faye White.[7] The lowest-ranked team in the third round were Kidderminster Harriers of the sixth-tier National League North.

The draw was held on 3 March 2022 at Wembley Stadium, and was conducted by England national football team manager Gareth Southgate.[14] The lowest-ranked teams in the quarter-finals were Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest, both of the second-tier EFL Championship.[15][16]
On 15 March, Chelsea requested to play their game against Middlesbrough behind closed doors, due to them being unable to sell any more than the season tickets and 500–600 regular tickets sold before 10 March, after the Russian owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK over his links to Vladimir Putin. This would have meant no one would be able to attend, including Middlesbrough fans whose tickets already had sold out. Chelsea's request was withdrawn the same day under criticism from the FA and Middlesbrough.[17]

Following the conclusion of the competition, Marske United player Adam Boyes was awarded the FA Cup Golden Ball Award, commemorating him as the top scorer of the season from the extra preliminary round through to the final with eleven goals.[19]
The domestic broadcasting rights for the competition were held by the BBC who had held them since 2014-15 and ITV who were showing matches for the first time since the 2013-14 season. After replacing ITV's FA Cup games with other network programming (in a delayed or regular timeslot), films, locally-produced content and acquired international programmes for the majority of the 2008-2014 period that ITV last broadcast the competition, STV broadcast ITV's coverage to viewers in Scotland, with ITV1 games available to stream on STV Player for the first time.
The following matches were broadcast live on UK television:
Broadcast partners for other countries can be found on the FA's website.
