Chelsea discover Women’s FA Cup fifth round opponents
From the official Chelsea FC website:
Chelsea have been drawn at home to Manchester United in the fifth round of the Women’s FA Cup.
Sonia Bompastor’s side made an impressive start to the defence of the trophy we lifted last May, defeating Crystal Palace 5-0 on Saturday.
Blues skipper Millie Bright opened the scoring before Sam Kerr struck and Guro Reiten converted a penalty during an impressive opening 45 minutes.
Kerr netted again in the second period and a goal from Alyssa Thompson rounded off our win.
That victory ensured our place in the fifth-round draw, which took place this evening, and the Blues will host Women’s Super League side Manchester United.
Fifth-round fixtures will be played around the weekend of Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 February 2026. Full ticket information will follow in due course.
