The 2020 Women's FA Cup final (known as the Vitality Women's FA Cup Final for sponsorship reasons was the 50th final of the Women's FA Cup,[2] England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. The showpiece event was the 27th to be played directly under the auspices of the Football Association (FA).[3]

The final, contested between Everton and Manchester City, was played on Sunday 1 November 2020 at Wembley Stadium in London. It was played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was Everton's sixth appearance in the FA Cup final (including as forerunner club Leasowe Pacific) and their first since the final was moved to the national stadium having last appeared in the 2014 edition held at Stadium MK. They last won the competition in 2010. It was Manchester City's third appearance in the final having lifted the trophy on the two previous occasions in 2017 and 2019.[4]

Manchester City won the game 3–1 in extra-time after the scores were level at 1–1 after 90 minutes. The result meant Manchester City won back to back FA Cups for the first time in their history and became the first team to successfully defend their title since Arsenal in 2014.
