Chelsea - FA Cup - Football Association - Manchester City - Premier League - UEFA

Exciting changes in FA Cup format from 2024/25 season including exclusive weekend games and no replays. Read on for the details!

The FA Cup will undergo significant changes starting from the 2024/25 season. Replays have been officially scrapped from the first round onwards, a move driven by UEFA's expansion of European competitions. This decision aims to address the issue of calendar congestion in football. Games will now be played exclusively on weekends, providing a more structured and fan-friendly schedule. The FA and Premier League have solidified a new six-year agreement to enhance the overall format of the Emirates FA Cup.

Football enthusiasts can get ready for an adrenaline-packed experience with the forthcoming FA Cup semi-finals in 2024. Teams like Manchester City, Chelsea, Coventry, and Manchester United will battle it out to secure their spots in the finals. The excitement and anticipation surrounding these matches are at an all-time high, promising thrilling moments and intense competition.

In a move to elevate the viewing experience, fans can catch the FA Cup semi-finals live on platforms like ESPN and Showmax. Major matchups such as Man City vs. Chelsea are set to captivate audiences with their skillful gameplay and fierce rivalry. Additionally, special guests like Richard Dunne and Steve Howey will add a unique perspective to the coverage, enhancing the overall fan experience.

As the FA Cup semi-finals draw near, one of the standout predictions revolves around Raheem Sterling's performance. With his impressive track record against Chelsea in the Premier League, Sterling could potentially make history by becoming the first Blues player to score in three different encounters against a formidable opponent like Manchester City. The upcoming FA Cup semifinals, alongside other top-tier soccer events, are poised to deliver memorable moments and unforgettable matches for fans worldwide.
