Fa Cup Schedule

FA Cup Schedule 2011/12

The greatest football competition in the world is split over two actual years, but just one football season. We have already witnessed a host of entertaining fixtures in the first few rounds stage but the attention will now shift to the fifth round which takes place on the weekend of 18th February 2012.

In total, including all the preliminary rounds, non-league sides will be involved in 12 rounds before they reach the final, whilst Premier League and Championship teams will only have to play five fixtures.

FA Cup 2011/12 Prize Fund

There is very little to be earned in actual prize money but getting far into the competition will also give you more money via increased gate receipts (for each time whether home or away each league side gets 45% of the gate receipts with the remaining 10% going to the Football Association, non league sides get an extra 5% which comes from the League cups share). Money is also earned through TV revenue and the eventual winners will get the opportunity to play European football and enjoy the riches that will come with it.

The prize fund allocated to each team, the brackets denote the amount of teams that will receive funds. Over all the rounds just under £15 million will be paid out by the Football Association.
