Leeds to face Chelsea at Wembley after first FA Cup semi-final run in 39 years

FA Cup 2026 semi-final draw

Leeds United will meet Chelsea at Wembley after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1987, overcoming West Ham 4-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw in a thrilling contest.

Daniel Farke’s side now prepare for a clash with the eight-time winners, reviving memories of the 1970 final between the clubs, while the other semi-final sees Manchester City take on Championship side Southampton, who shocked Premier League leaders Arsenal.



The ties are scheduled for the weekend of 25-26 April, with Leeds chasing their first FA Cup triumph since 1972.
