The final is less than a month away – with the final two teams decided in a matter of days.

Liverpool, , and have all made it to the semi-final stage, and the north-west and London teams will all be gunning for the coveted trophy.

But when is the match exactly, can you buy tickets and do we know where to watch it on TV yet?

Here’s everything you need to know about the big game.

When is the FA Cup final?

The FA Cup final will take place on Saturday, May 14 2022.

At the time of writing, we don’t yet know the exact kick-off time for the match, but last year’s kick-off was 5.15pm.

When will we know who is playing in the final?

By time Easter Sunday draws to a close, we’ll know exactly who’ll be facing off in mid-May.

The first semi-final, Manchester City vs Liverpool, kicked off at 3.30pm today (Saturday, April 16).

And the second, Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, kicks off at 4.30pm tomorrow (Sunday, April 17).

Many will be expecting a Chelsea victory, as they’ve won their last nine fixtures against Crystal Palace.

Meanwhile Man City’s fifth FA Cup final in the last six years is guaranteed to be a nailbiter. They’ve played Liverpool twice at Wembley Stadium since 2016, with both games drawing 1-1 and City winning on penalties.

Where is the FA Cup final being played?

The FA Cup final will be played at Wembley Stadium – located in Wembley, North London.

Wembley is traditionally the venue for the crucial game.

Both of 2022’s semi-finals are played here too, with Reds captain Jordan Henderson back in March.

Man City and Liverpool are both based in North West England – and due to engineering works affecting travel, Henderson expressed concern that heading down south might prove tricky and costly for fans.
