Women's FA Cup to return from March 31



The competition was put on hold in January after the suspension of 'non-elite' sport.


The FA has confirmed that following the Government’s recent roadmap announcement which will see the safe return of grassroots football from 29 March, the 2020-21 Vitality Women’s FA Cup will recommence at the end of this month.


The competition was put on hold in January after the suspension of 'non-elite' sport.

With the recent announcement that the suspension will be lifted in a few weeks, we're now in a position to reschedule the first four rounds of the competition – with one tie still to be played in the first round proper and 17 in the second round proper, before the third and fourth rounds can be played.

According to the FA, the rescheduled dates – subject to ongoing Government guidance as we follow the roadmap out of lockdown - are as follows:

First round – 31 March 2021

Second round – 4 April 2021

Third round – 11 April 2021

Fourth round – 18 April 2021

Further stating: “To ensure clubs can plan and prepare for their upcoming ties, the draws for the third and fourth rounds have been made.”

“We must also acknowledge FIFA’s support for completing the later rounds of the competition. Conversations concerning a date for the fifth round, which will be completed this season, are ongoing.”

Following the fifth round, up to three rounds, including the Final at Wembley Stadium, can be completed next season with dates to be confirmed.
