After the Premier League returned from its World Cup break, attention turned to the busy January calendar, which began on January 6 with the FA Cup third round. It is the oldest knockout club competition in football history and provides access to Wembley Stadium for clubs from all tiers of the English league system. An FA Cup final victory offers the possibility of a date in the city, a significant cash infusion, and the opportunity to go to Europe.

Do FA Cup champions earn a spot in the Europa League?

The Europa League group stages for the next season are automatically reserved for FA Cup winners. Their performance in the Premier League will also have an impact. The FA Cup champions' position in the Europa League qualifying round will be given to the team with the next-highest ranking if they finish in the top four and therefore qualify for the Champions League, or if they finish fifth and do so. Arsenal's eighth place in the 2020–21 Premier League was preserved by their FA Cup triumph. In recent seasons, an FA Cup victory has offered a fallback for teams finishing outside the European rankings.

What are the FA Cup runners-up eligible for?

For the FA Cup runners-up, the possibilities for qualifying for Europe get a little trickier every year. The FA Cup runners-up will take the cup winner's place in the Europa League if they have already earned a spot in the Champions League or Europa League through the Premier League. However, the Premier League will take over the FA Cup berth if both FA Cup finalists earn a spot in Europe via the Premier League. Since both teams had previously qualified for the Champions League by finishing in the top four of the Premier League in 2021–2022, the spots were redistributed in accordance with Liverpool's victories over Chelsea in the FA Cup and EFL Cup finals.
