The FA Cup Winners List

The FA Cup has witnessed countless exhilarating moments, heart-stopping upsets, and heroic performances on the hallowed grounds of English football. From the early days of its inception in 1872 to the present day, here is a list of all the winners of the FA Cup.



The first-ever FA Cup final was won by Wanders. They won six of the first nine championships.

Ten times has a team from outside the top level of English football won the FA Cup (since the formation of The Football League in 1888). The last time was when West Ham United won in 1980.

With their victory in 2024, Manchester United are now 13-time winners of the FA Cup, only one win behind Arsenal as the most FA Cup titles by a single club.
