The EE Disability FA Cup will return this summer for its ninth edition, with six finals taking place over 28 and 29 June 2025 at St. George’s Park.

This year’s event is the first under its new name, with EE becoming an official title partner for the next four years following continued support and partnership of the tournament since 2022. This move will enhance the competition’s alignment with its other prestigious counterparts – the Emirates FA Cup and the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.

Creating the largest competition of its kind, the finals ensure that players within impairment-specific football have a national FA competition to call their own with a total of six formats of the game competing: Amputee, Blind, Cerebral Palsy, Deaf, Partially Sighted and Powerchair.

Fans will have the chance to visit St George’s Park which will be open for all to attend the finals and cheer on the teams from the stands.

TNT Sports will show every match exclusively live on TNT Sports 1.

For fans able to attend, the Experience Area will return for 2025; a dedicated space for equipment and adaptions to simulate some of the formats of disability football showcased throughout the finals weekend.

These introductory sessions are in conjunction with The FA’s Disability Football strategy – Football Without Limits. The strategy’s aims include increasing participation and the number of coaches, creating an inclusive talent pathway, building support for elite players, and raising awareness of disability football at all levels.

Schedule as follows:

Saturday 28 June
Amputee Cup Final in partnership with England Amputee Football Association
10:00 Chelsea FC Foundation vs Everton in the Community 

Partially Sighted Cup Final in partnership with the National Partially Sighted Football League
12:30 Birmingham Futsal vs Merseyside Blind & V.I FC

Blind Cup Final in partnership with the National Blind Football League
3:10 Royal National College for the Blind vs West Bromwich Albion Blind FC Blind Pitch

Sunday 29 June
Cerebral Palsy Cup Final in partnership with CP Sport
10:15 Cerebral Palsy North West FC vs Chelsea FC Foundation

Powerchair Cup Final in partnership with the Wheelchair Football Association
12:20 Aspire PFC vs West Bromwich Albion PFC

Deaf Cup Final in partnership with England Deaf Football
2:20 Barnet Deaf FC vs St. John's Deaf FC

Saturday’s Blind Final will see an effective rematch of last year’s final, with Royal National College for the Blind and West Bromwich Albion FC competing once again, with the latter looking to make it two wins in a row. Birmingham Futsal make their return to the Partially Sighted Final after narrowly losing in last year’s final, their 2025 opponents will be Merseyside Blind & V.I FC.

Rounding out the first day will see North against South in this year’s Amputee Final as 2024’s runners up Everton in the Community face Chelsea FC Foundation.

On Sunday, the Powerchair Final will see last year’s champions West Bromwich Albion PFC take on four-time winners, Aspire PFC.

Chelsea FC Foundation will be hoping to go one better than last year, with a match against Cerebral Palsy North West FC set for 2025’s Cerebral Palsy Final and completing the weekend will be an all-North London affair as Barnet Deaf FC play St. John’s Deaf FC in the Deaf Final.

In anticipation of this year’s EE Disability FA Cup, James Kendall, Director of Football Development at The FA said: “This summer’s tournament is set to be the most exciting yet, with a host of returning champions and elite teams ready to compete for silverware across the weekend. As the tournament nears ever closer, we can’t wait for the competition to begin and see players compete at the highest level. We look forward to welcoming fans to St George’s Park for what is sure to be a thrilling weekend of football.”

Scott Young Group SVP, Content, Production and Business Operations, WBD Sports Europe said: “TNT Sports has a proud and long history of broadcasting the Disability FA Cup. This will be the fifth year that we have broadcast all six finals back to back and exclusively live. Every year the Disability Cup delivers six fantastic finals of fast paced and exciting football alongside amazing athlete stories, we can’t wait to bring all the action live from St George’s Park once again.”

Kelly Engstrom, Brand Communications Director, EE, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our support for the EE Disability FA Cup, with our status as title partner demonstrating our commitment to amplifying and celebrating para and disability football. Since joining in 2022, we have been privileged to witness the growth of this tournament, and have no doubt that this year’s iteration will continue to serve up brilliant moments and opportunities for players, coaches and fans too.”
