⚽ Exciting Changes in FA Cup Third Round! 🎉
As the FA Cup third round kicks off from January 10-13, 2026, there’s a new twist! If a match is tied after 90 minutes, get ready for extra time with two 15-minute halves. Still level? It’s down to the thrilling penalty shootout! 🥅⚡
Why the change? UEFA’s expanding Champions and Europa Leagues are squeezing the calendar. So, the FA Cup is embracing a revamp to fit in without competing with domestic fixtures. 📅
Who’s in on the action? Premier League and Championship clubs join the excitement with a mix of already victorious second-round teams. The weekend’s jam-packed with matches:
