The 2023 FA Cup final will be the final match of the 2022–23 FA Cup, the 142nd edition of the oldest football tournament in the world, the FA Cup. It will be played at Wembley Stadium in London on 3 June 2023 between Manchester City and Manchester United, making it the first Manchester derby in a cup final.

Background

The 2023 final marks the 100th anniversary of the first FA Cup final to be played at the original Wembley Stadium, the venue replaced by the current stadium in 2007.[1] It is Manchester United's 21st appearance in the FA Cup final – tying the record set by Arsenal on their last appearance in 2020 – and their first since 2018; it is Manchester City's 12th FA Cup final appearance, and their first since 2019. It is the first time that the two Manchester clubs have met in the FA Cup final, but the 10th time they have met at any stage of the competition, and the 190th Manchester derby in total. The two clubs split the results between them in the Premier League during the season; City won the first match 6–3 at the City of Manchester Stadium in October 2022,[2] while United won 2–1 at Old Trafford in January 2023.[3]
