When is the FA Cup final 2022? Ticket details, date, time for Wembley Stadium showpiece image

The FA Cup's iconic title as the oldest knockout cup competition in club football has kept it at the heart of English football for over a century.

Despite claims that the competition has become less important for the Premier League's big hitters over the last decade, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have still dominated the trophy since 2008.

The 2021-22 final will be a bit unusual in that it will take place before the end of regular league season, with the game traditionally held in the past as the curtain call on the domestic campaign.

With 2021 and 2020 winners Leicester City and Arsenal already eliminated, the 2022 final could feature as part of a treble or quadruple push for either Liverpool or Manchester City.

Ticket details for the 2022 FA Cup final

With the FA Cup semifinals all set for April 16-17, with Liverpool and Manchester City facing off on April 16 and Chelsea taking on Crystal Palace on April 17, ticket information is yet to be confirmed.

The FA will inform fans regarding ticketing information for the final after the two teams left standing are known beginning. The latest updates will be available on Wembley's ticket site and are expected beginning on April 18. 

FA Cup Final tickets are often a controversial subject with fans due to the number of Wembley tickets pre-assigned to corporate sponsors.

Each semifinalist club was allotted a maximum of 34,000 tickets for their last-four match, with Wembley's estimated capacity standing at 90,000.
