FA Cup Odds 2026 See Holders Crystal Palace 25/1 To Win Again 4y392y
Oliver Glasner guided his Crystal Palace team to a famous FA Cup win over Manchester City in 2025 – and the SportsCasting traders have given the Eagles 2026 FA Cup betting odds of 25/1 to retain their title.
The Eagles ended 164 years without lifting a major trophy when seeing off City 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 17th May and are the t ninth-favourites to repeat the feat next season.
Palace only conceded ONE GOAL in their FA Cup winning season, which came in a 3-1 win over rivals Millwall in the Fifth Round – but also kept five clean sheets, including in the final.
The 2025 FA Cup win for Palace saw them go one better than their two other appearances in the final in 1990 and 2016 – losing both times to Manchester United.
Palace fans can continue the celebrations on Monday 26th May for a planned Community Shield.
If Crystal Palace can win the FA Cup again in 2026, the will become the first team to win the competition back-to-back since Arsenal in 2014 and 2015.
Manchester City The Favourites In 2026, According To The FA Cup Betting Odds 464oj
Despite losing out in the 2025 FA Cup Final, the Sportscasting traders still make Manchester City the most likely team to win in 2026.
The 2024/25 campaign for City was the first time then ended without a trophy since 2016/17.
City have won the FA Cup a total of seven times – with their first in 1904 and their most recent a 2-1 win over Manchester United in 2023.
All-Time Winners Arsenal Third Best In The FA Cup Betting Odds Market 223422
No football team has won the FA Cup more times than Arsenal – the Gunners lead the way with 14, with Man Utd hot on their heels with 13 wins.
In 2025 Arsenal went out in the third round (their first game) in the competition in January – when losing on penalties to Manchester United.
However, the FA Cup betting odds 2026 suggest they won’t be far off the mark next season – with the traders making them third best in the market.
Arsenal won their first FA Cup in 1930 and their most recent came in 2020 with a 2-1 win over Chelsea.

Commentary: sportscasting.com/uk spokesman Andy Newton reacted to our ‘2026 FA Cup Betting Odds’ saying: 2p5n69
“Having lost out in the 1990 and 2016 FA Cup Finals it was great to see Palace finally get over the line in this famous competition in 2025. The Eagles are soaring high at the moment under the guidance of Oliver Glasner and providing the South London side can keep prying eyes away from their star players over the summer, the 25/1 on a repeat FA Cup win doesn’t look bad value – don’t forget they only conceded one goal in the competition in 2025.
“Of the rest, it’s no shock to see the English top-flight big-guns heading the FA Cup betting odds market – but with City not looking the force of old, the 11/4 looks skinny to me. The most successful team in the tournament Arsenal are sure to be popular at 7/2 – especially with United only one win away from equaling their haul of 14 wins.
“However, of the main players – the most reliable side in the English top-flight at present is clearly Liverpool and so the 3/1 of offer on the Reds winning the FA Cup for a ninth time has to be respected and looks a better option than siding with favorites City.
