  • Arsenal has won the most FA Cups (13).
  • The first FA Cup occurred in 1871.
  • Ashley Cole is the player with the most FA Cups (seven), winning three with Arsenal and four with Chelsea.

The FA Cup is the oldest, most storied, and cherished soccer tournament in England.

It started in 1871 and includes any team with FA membership, affiliation to a County FA, or a stadium meeting FA standards, including teams from Wales. 

As such, it often provides lower-division teams the chance to fulfil lifelong dreams of playing against Premier League sides, setting up quintessential David vs. Goliath scenarios you won’t see anywhere else. 

Those mismatches on paper, combined with the knockout-style tournament format, provide intriguing soccer betting situations. 

Who Has the Most FA Cup Wins?

With 14, Arsenal has won the most FA Cups. 

The Gunners’ first FA Cup triumph came in the 1929-30 season, with their most recent winning run occurring in 2019-20. They won three in four years from 2001 to 2005 and repeated that feat from 2013 to 2017.  

Arsenal usually sit near the top of the FA Cup odds as each year’s tournament commences.  

How Many FA Cups Has Manchester United Won?

Manchester United sits second on the all-time list with 13 FA Cups. Their last victory occurred in 2023-24, and their first taste of FA Cup glory came in 1908-09. 

The Red Devils’ most prolific and fruitful patch came between 1993 and 1999, when they won three in six years. 

Who Has More FA Cups, United or Liverpool?

Manchester United has more FA Cups than Liverpool, at 13 compared to the Reds’ eight. However, they have both won three since the turn of the millennium. 

They’ve only ever met once in the FA Cup final, with United winning 2-1 in 1976-77. 

Which Player Has Won the Most FA Cups?

Ashley Cole won the most FA Cups with seven. He won three with Arsenal (2002, 2003, and 2005) and four with Chelsea (2007, 2009, 2010, and 2012). 

Cole has two more FA Cups than Petr Cech, John Terry, and Patrick Viera, all of whom lifted the FA Cup with Cole as their teammate.
