Are there replays in the FA Cup?

No, replays have not been in use in any of the full rounds of this season’s FA Cup.

Replays were scrapped by the FA for last year’s competition in order to ease fixture congestion and the rules have remained the same for this season.

Any match that finishes level after normal time will head to extra-time and then penalties if needed.
