How the counting works

Every match of the FA Cup proper counts, from the first round on (the qualifying rounds before it aren't included), and so do replays and both legs of a two-legged tie. A score is the one after extra time: a match won on penalties is a draw on the grid, the shoot-out noted beside it. At a neutral ground, such as Wembley for the final, the side named first counts as the home side. Walkovers, byes and void or abandoned matches aren't matches.

The results to 2018/19 are from engsoccerdata (James Curley), checked where other sources overlap it: nine scores and eight dates it had wrong are corrected. 2019/20 to 2024/25 are from openfootball, and the seasons since from Wikipedia's FA Cup season articles, read again every morning, so this season's results arrive the day after they're played.
