Summer break will become longer with new schedule

in an attempt to secure the future of the competition, with replays to be dropped – starting from the first round proper – and the final moved from its position as the traditional end of season showpiece. the new settlement will see the latter increase funding to the football pyramid and grassroots by £33 million per season.

Traditionally Cup replays have been seen as a chance for smaller clubs to earn substantial extra revenues. The League Two side Newport County, who had a fourth-round replay at Wembley against Tottenham in 2017, saw their turnover increase by nearly £1 million that season, enough to drag the club into profit. The new changes mean there will be no replays, with all games going to extra time and then penalties.
