The final was played on 25 May 2024 between defending champions Manchester City and local rivals Manchester United, a repeat of the previous final which Manchester City won 2–1.[2] This made the final the first to feature the same teams in consecutive editions since the 1884–85 season. Manchester United beat Manchester City to clinch their 13th title in the competition. As the winners, Manchester United qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League league stage, as well as earned the right to play against the winners of the 2023–24 Premier League, Manchester City, in the 2024 FA Community Shield.
This was the last edition of the tournament to feature replays in the non-qualifying rounds, as well as the last one to have the final played after 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 were criticised since replays were cited as an important source of revenue for lower league clubs.[4][5]
The FA Cup is a knockout competition with 124 teams taking part from the first round proper, and all trying to reach the final at Wembley Stadium on 25 May 2024.[6] The competition consisted 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 were 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 was £5,508,000.[7]
