FA Cup Winners List: Champions and Runners Up from 1872 to 2023

The FA Cup (Football Association Cup), the oldest cup competition and the knock out football tournament, is held every season, with all 10 levels of English leagues clubs competing for the trophy.

While the vast majority of the FA Cup finals have been held in London at the Wembley Stadium, the summit clash has also been held across other venues including Cardiff, Wales.

FA Cup Trophy

Although it is held every season, the FA Cup was not held during the two World War years. The FA Cup final was decided by a replay on a later date in case of a draw till 1999. This has happened 14 times when teams were not separated after regulation time.

Since 1999, the final is decided on the same day via a penalty shoot-out, which has happened only three times so far with Arsenal winning in 2005 and Liverpool winning in 2006 and 2022.

Founded in 1871, the first ever FA Cup was won by Wanderers, who won the trophy 5 times in the early years. But many other teams went on to win the coveted title more than five times over the years.

So far the FA Cup has been contested 141 times and as it stands, Arsenal are the most successful club, having won the FA Cup a record 14 times in 21 final appearances followed by Manchester United, who have won it 12 times in 21 finals.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are the next best club with 8 titles each, while Aston Villa and Manchester City have won it 7 times each followed by Newcastle United, who have won the prestigious cup 6 times.

Chelsea's unlucky run in the finals continued for the third successive year as they lost to Arsenal in 2020, first-time winners Leicester City in 2021 and Liverpool via penalty shootout in the 2022 FA Cup Final.
