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. The match was a repeat of the previous final, which City won 2–1.[3] 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 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 faced City as the league champions. As their women's team won the 2024 Women's FA Cup final, Manchester United became the fifth club, and the first since City in 2019, to win both the men's and women's FA Cup in the same season.[4]
