The 2025 FA Cup final was a football match played at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 17 May 2025 between Crystal Palace and Manchester City that determined the winners of the 2024–25 FA Cup. It was the 144th final of English football's primary cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup.
Crystal Palace won the match 1–0 after a first-half goal from winger Eberechi Eze and a penalty save by goalkeeper Dean Henderson, resulting in the club winning their first-ever major trophy. As winners, they earned the right to play in the league phase of the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League, as well as against Liverpool, the winners of the 2024–25 Premier League, in the 2025 FA Community Shield. It also meant that Crystal Palace qualified to a major European competition for the first time in club history.
For Manchester City, this was their third consecutive FA Cup final, and second defeat in a row, becoming the tenth team to lose consecutive finals.
