Southampton’s Emirates FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City will be played on Saturday 25th April, kicking off at 5.15pm BST.

Saints, inspired by history, upset Premier League leaders Arsenal on a raucous night at St Mary’s to book their place at Wembley, keeping alive their dream of replicating the club’s FA Cup winners of 1976, 50 years on.

It means Saints will play in their third FA Cup semi-final in nine seasons following Wembley showdowns with Chelsea (2017/18) and Leicester (2020/21) in recent years.

Full ticketing information for the Manchester City meeting will be confirmed on Friday, but we can confirm that prices will range from £30-£150.

The club is pleased to have been granted permission to wear the commemorative '76-inspired yellow kit that has been a permanent fixture of this season's FA Cup run for the victories over Doncaster, Leicester, Fulham and Arsenal.

Saints have been allocated the west end of Wembley – the same end as the 2024 Championship play-off final. For those unable to attend in person, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1, BBC One, BBC iPlayer and HBO Max.

Saints are back in action at St Mary's on Saturday when play-off rivals Derby County are the visitors (3pm BST). Tickets start from £25 for Adults and £15 for Juniors.
