FA Cup Winners Betting Odds

The FA Cup is one of English football's oldest and most iconic cup competitions. The FA Cup was born in 1871, with teams from the top of the game right down to step nine of the football pyramid taking part annually. Renowned for the giant killings that happen, creating the "magic of the FA Cup," there are usually over seven hundred teams that enter the tournament. 

Arsenal remains the competition's most successful team, having lifted the FA Cup fourteen times. Manchester City are the current champions, and FA Cup odds suggest they’re the team to beat once again. The winner of the FA Cup is automatically entered into the Europa League the following season and will also take part in the Community Shield against the Premier League champions. 

What are FA Cup Betting Outright Markets?

Manchester City won the FA Cup in 2022/23 and are favourites to win it again in 2024/25. 

FA Cup Match Betting Odds 

The FA Cup is famed for giant killings and shock results. Every season, they happen, especially when lower league teams face those from levels above. It’s one of the reasons why match betting is so popular, especially as punters often look to back the teams that aren’t expected to win. FA Cup odds often reflect that there’s a chance for a giant-killing or two to happen, keeping the magic of the competition alive. 

To Make The Final Odds 

While betting on the eventual winner of the FA Cup remains the most popular outright market, placing a wager on a club to make it to the final is also right up there, and it's a market that most sports betting operators offer. To Win FA Cup odds means to back the winner, whereas, to make the final market means that the punter just needs to back a team to get there, but they don't necessarily have to lift the trophy.
