Are there replays within the FA Cup this yr?
Replays usually are not in use in any of the complete rounds of this season’s FA Cup.
The FA scrapped replays from the primary round onwards in last yr’s competition and that has continued into the 2025/26 edition.
The move is geared toward reducing fixture congestion in an already busy calendar.
