The 2024 FA Cup final was a football match played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 25 May 2024 to determine the winners of the 2023–24 FA Cup. It was the 143rd final of English football's primary cup competition in the Football Association Challenge Cup.

The final was contested between holders Manchester City and local rivals Manchester United, in a repeat of the previous final, which City had won 2–1. It was the second time the two sides have met in the final, and was the first to feature the same teams in consecutive seasons since 1885.

Manchester United won the match 2–1 for their 13th FA Cup title, avenging their defeat by the same scoreline in the previous season. As winners, Manchester United qualified for the league phase of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League. They also qualified for the 2024 FA Community Shield, where they will face City as the league champions.

In the quarter-final match, Manchester City hosted Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium where they came out 2–0 winners in the end which put them through to the semi-finals.

5th Nottingham Forest (A) 1–0
QF Liverpool (H) 4–3 (a.e.t.)

As a Premier League team, Manchester United also entered the tournament in the third round. They began their campaign with a 2–0 away win over Wigan Athletic, before recording a 4–2 away win over Newport County. In the fifth round, United travelled to the City Ground and defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0.

In the quarter-finals, United defeated rivals Liverpool 4–3 after extra time at their home ground, Old Trafford with goals for United from Scott McTominay, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo and goals for Liverpool from Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott. This ended Liverpool's hopes of a quadruple in manager Jürgen Klopp's final season in charge of Liverpool.

In the semi-final match, also held at Wembley, United defeated Coventry City 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw, during which they squandered a 3–0 lead, to set up a showdown with Manchester City in the final for a second successive season. Victor Torp's late goal for Coventry nearly completed a remarkable comeback and would have made them the first team from outside the top flight to reach an FA Cup final since Cardiff City in 2008, but it was controversially ruled out for offside by VAR. This will be the first time United will have played in successive FA Cup Finals for 19 years since playing in both the 2004 and 2005 finals.
