The English Football Federation announced the restart of the oldest competition in the world, after the knock-out competition was suspended as a result of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. The FA Cup final will be held on 1 August with the quarter-finals given provisional restart dates of 27 and 28 June.
However, no decision has been made on whether the quarter finals will be played at neutral stadiums, but the semi-finals, planned to take place 11 and 12 July are expected to be held at Wembley Stadium as normal.
The announcement comes after the Premier League revealed plans to restart ten days earlier than the cup on 17 June.
FA chief executive, Mark Bullingham said: “We are pleased to agree the provisional restart date for the FA Cup. The competition has been an integral part of the English football calendar for nearly 150 years and we’d like to thank the Premier League executive and clubs for their support in scheduling the remaining matches during this unprecedented time.”
