About the game
Predict the FA Cup, live
The FA Cup is the world's oldest football cup competition, running since 1871, and every round is open to clubs from across the English football pyramid. Premier League giants can be drawn against lower-league part-timers, and the magic of the cup means upsets happen every single season. No scoreline, no goalscorer is truly predictable - which makes FA Cup football some of the most exciting to predict live on CalledItMate.
The FA Cup's history is woven through English football culture like no other competition. Shock results - Wrexham beating Arsenal, AFC Wimbledon defeating MK Dons - are not just possible but expected. The third round in January, when Premier League clubs enter, marks one of the most-anticipated weekends in the English football calendar, with 32 matches played across three days.

FA Cup prediction questions
How do I predict FA Cup matches on CalledItMate?
Open any enabled FA Cup fixture on CalledItMate, set your score prediction and goalscorer call, and earn points as the game plays out. Cup football is notoriously unpredictable - Premier League clubs drop points against lower-league opposition regularly, and the magic of the cup means no result is a foregone conclusion. The longer the odds on your call, the better it feels when it comes in.
When do FA Cup matches kick off?
FA Cup rounds take place throughout the season from August through to the final at Wembley in May, with the third round in January being the most-anticipated weekend as Premier League clubs enter the competition. Matches are spread across Saturday, Sunday and midweek slots, often with multiple fixtures on the same day during the early rounds.
