{{Main|FA Cup Final}}
The final has been played at the rebuilt [[Wembley Stadium]] since it opened, in [[2006–07 FA Cup|2007.]]<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6039052.stm |title=Wembley Stadium to open next year |publisher=BBC News |access-date=17 March 2007 |date=19 October 2006 |first=Howard |last=Nurse |archive-date=7 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070307000619/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6039052.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> The rebuilding process meant that between 2001 and 2006 they were hosted at the [[Millennium Stadium]] in [[Cardiff]] in Wales. Prior to rebuilding, the final was hosted by the [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|original Wembley Stadium]] since it opened in [[1922–23 FA Cup|1923]] (being originally named the Empire Stadium). One exception to this 78-year series of Empire Stadium finals (including five replays) was the [[1970 FA Cup Final|1970 replay]] between [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] and [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], held at [[Old Trafford]] in Manchester.

In the 51 years prior to the Empire Stadium opening, the final (including 8 replays) was held in a variety of locations, predominantly in London, and mainly at the [[The Oval|Kennington Oval]] and then [[Crystal Palace National Sports Centre#FA Cup Finals (1895–1914)|Crystal Palace]]. It was played 22 times at The Oval (the inaugural competition in 1872, and then all but two times until [[1892 FA Cup Final|1892]]). After The Oval, Crystal Palace hosted 21 finals from [[1895 FA Cup Final|1895]] to [[1914 FA Cup Final|1914]], broken up by four replays elsewhere. The other London venues were [[Stamford Bridge (stadium)|Stamford Bridge]] from [[1920 FA Cup Final|1920]] to [[1922 FA Cup Final|1922]] (the last three finals before the move to Empire Stadium); and the University of Oxford's [[Lillie Bridge Grounds|Lillie Bridge]] in [[Fulham]] for the second ever final, in [[1873 FA Cup Final|1873]]. The other venues used sparingly in this period were all outside of London, as follows:
* [[County Cricket Ground, Derby|Racecourse Ground]], Derby ([[1886 FA Cup Final|1886]])
* [[Fallowfield Stadium]], Manchester ([[1893 FA Cup Final|1893]])
* [[Goodison Park]], Liverpool ([[1894 FA Cup Final|1894]])
* [[Burnden Park]], [[Bolton]] ([[1901 FA Cup Final|1901]] replay)
* Goodison Park ([[1910 FA Cup Final|1910]] replay)
* [[Old Trafford]], Manchester ([[1911 FA Cup Final|1911]] replay)
* [[Bramall Lane]], Sheffield ([[1912 FA Cup Final|1912]] replay)
* Old Trafford ([[1915 FA Cup Final|1915]])
