Since the start of the [[1994–95 FA Cup|1994–95 season]], the FA Cup has been sponsored. However, to protect the identity of the competition, the sponsored name has always included 'The FA Cup' in addition to the sponsor's name, unlike sponsorship deals for the [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] where the word 'cup' is preceded by only the sponsor's name. Sponsorship deals run for four years, though – as in the case of [[E.ON]] – one-year extensions may be agreed. [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates Airline]] has been the sponsor since 2015, initially renaming the competition as 'The Emirates FA Cup', unlike previous editions, which included 'The FA Cup in association with E.ON' and 'The FA Cup with [[Budweiser]]'.<ref name="Emirates">{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32944162 |title=FA Cup get first title sponsor following deal with Emirates Airline |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 May 2015 |access-date=30 May 2015 |archive-date=25 June 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150625042714/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32944162 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Emirates sponsorship deal, originally scheduled to terminate in 2018, was later extended three times until 2021, 2024, 2028.<ref name="The FA">{{cite web|url=https://www.thefa.com/news/2024/aug/01/emirates-fa-cup-extension-20240108 |title=The FA Cup extends its global partnership with Emirates for four more years |work=The FA |date=1 August 2024 |accessdate=15 August 2024}}</ref>

From 2006 to 2013, [[Umbro]] supplied match balls for all FA Cup matches. They were replaced at the start of the 2013–14 season by [[Nike Inc.|Nike]], who produced the competition's official match ball for five seasons. [[Mitre Sports International|Mitre]] took over for the 2018–19 season, beginning a three-year partnership with the FA.<ref>{{cite news |title=The FA announces a three-year partnership with Mitre |url=http://www.thefa.com/news/2018/aug/01/mitre-partnership-010818 |publisher=The Football Association |date=1 August 2018 |access-date=11 November 2018 |archive-date=1 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801211019/http://www.thefa.com/news/2018/aug/01/mitre-partnership-010818 |url-status=live }}</ref>
