The FA Cup will undergo a number of changes from next season with replays to be scrapped from the first round proper and the final to be moved to an exclusive weekend

Some major alterations have been announced for the FA Cup, which may significantly impact Manchester United and Manchester City. In a deal worth £33m, FA Cup replays will be done away with from the first round onwards from next season on.

"The fourth and fifth rounds and the quarter-finals all will be exclusive of Premier League fixtures for the first time, and the fourth round will have an extended window from Friday to Wednesday to allow fans to watch consecutive days of Emirates FA Cup football." "This new agreement between the FA and the Premier League strengthens the Emirates FA Cup and gives this very special tournament exclusive weekends in an increasingly busy calendar. The new schedule ensures the magic of the cup is protected and enhanced, while working for the whole of the English game. The longer summer period also allows a much-needed player break before the start of the next season.
