FA Cup 2025/26 Betting & Odds

The magic of the FA Cup returns — and Coral has everything you need to bet on one of football’s most iconic competitions. Whether you're backing a Premier League giant or a lower-league underdog to go on a dream run, we’ve got a huge range of FA Cup betting odds, markets and offers to keep every round exciting.

FA Cup 2025/26 Betting & Odds

Dating back to 1871, the FA Cup is the oldest national football competition in the world — and it still delivers edge-of-your-seat drama every season. With clubs from across the English football pyramid competing for silverware and a place in Europe, there’s no shortage of betting opportunities from the early rounds to the Wembley final.

Heading into the 2025/26 campaign, one of Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool are expected to be priced as the favourites in the FA Cup outright winner odds. They’re likely be followed by the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle, all of whom will enter in round three in January 2026. However, as history shows, the FA Cup rarely follows a script — making it one of the most unpredictable and exciting betting markets available.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on potential giant-killers too. Clubs from the EFL Championship, League One and League Two often make headlines — and punters profit — with cup shocks along the way.

FA Cup Betting Tips & Strategy

The FA Cup’s knockout nature makes it fertile ground for bettors who do their homework. Here are some smart ways to approach your FA Cup punts:

Check Team Rotation: Managers often shuffle their squads in the early rounds — especially among top-tier clubs with European duties.
Back the Underdogs (Selectively): Lower-league teams can outperform expectations, especially at home or in poor weather.
Consider Recent Form: Even top clubs can fall short if they’re out of rhythm — watch for slumps or winning streaks.
