Network Rail has confirmed it is laying on extra train services to Wembley Stadium this Saturday, 25 April 2026, for the FA Cup final. The match will see Manchester United face Manchester City in a highly anticipated Manchester derby.
Major rail operators, including Avanti West Coast and London Northwestern Railway, are running additional services and longer trains to manage the expected influx of tens of thousands of supporters from the North West. Fans are advised to check journey times and allow for extra travel time due to expected congestion.
The Metropolitan and Jubilee London Underground lines, which serve Wembley Park station, will also be operating a full service. Transport for London (TfL) has warned of potential crowding and advised fans to consider all route options to the stadium.
Kick-off for the final is scheduled for 15:00 BST. A joint statement from the Football Association and transport bodies emphasized planning ahead, stating, "With a full capacity crowd expected, we urge all supporters to plan their journeys in detail, arrive early, and respect fellow passengers."
