Chelsea Draw Leeds in FA Cup Semi-Finals Draw

Chelsea will face Leeds United in the headline tie of the 2025-26 FA Cup semi-finals draw. 

The tie will mark the first time that Chelsea will meet Leeds at Wembley Stadium, London, since their clash in the 1970 FA Cup Final which ended 2-2 before the Blues won the replay 2-1 at Old Trafford, Manchester City.

Chelsea cruised past Port Vale to qualify for the tie, whilst Leeds overcame West Ham on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw following extra time.

Southampton’s reward for eliminating Arsenal is a meeting against Manchester City, with City considered the new title favourites following the Gunners’ exit at the hands of the Saints whilst they saw off Liverpool in a 4-0 victory.

Semi-final ties will be played on 25 and 26 April at Wembley Stadium, with the winners awarded £1.06m in prize money plus a place in the final on Saturday 16 May.

TNT Sports will show one tie exclusively live in the UK and share coverage of their second-choice semi-final with BBC.
