FA Cup Prize Fund Doubles to £6m Highlighting Progress Toward Equal Pay

Increase applies from third round onwards; winners of the final to receive £430,000, a significant rise from last season's £100,000.

The Women’s FA Cup's total prize money will be doubled from £2,970,250 to nearly £6 million this season, marking a significant step toward equal pay.
The increase in the women’s cup funding will impact sides from the third round onwards, where Championship clubs enter the competition, and significantly, the Women's Super League clubs enter the competition in the fourth round.
The winners of the final at Wembley will now receive £430,000 on top of their prize money for victories in the previous rounds, a substantial rise from the £100,000 awarded last season.
The FA's long-term intention is to equalize prize money between the men’s and women’s competitions, and the doubling of the women’s prize fund for the second consecutive season embodies this commitment.
The ultimate aim of equalizing the prize money in the women's competition to that of the men's is yet to be achieved, with the men’s prize pot frozen at £19,829,800 this season.
