The 2025-26 FA Cup, the 145th installment of England's (and Wales') most prestigious knockout tournament, is in full swing. The competition offers lower-tier clubs the dream of upsetting top-flight giants and etching their names in football history. Defending champions Crystal Palace faced an early exit at the hands of non-league Macclesfield FC, while powerhouses like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City aim to claim the trophy.

Fans eagerly await the draws and fixtures for each round. For those interested in placing bets, platforms like the Bet9ja old mobile version offer a user-friendly experience.
