Wembley Stadium awaits for the semifinalists of the 2025–26 FA Cup, just four teams remaining after this weekend’s quarterfinal bouts.
Some blockbuster names are likely to contest two semifinals at London’s fabled venue later in the month, moving within one stride of the final and a shot at winning the world’s oldest cup competition.
Last season’s champions, Crystal Palace, were dumped out in one of the all-time shocks back in the third round, meaning the trophy will exchange hands come May’s showpiece event. First, however, the title hopefuls must navigate the semis.
Here’s everything you need to know about the FA Cup semifinal draw.
