The FA Cup 2006-07 is the 126th staging of the world's oldest football knockout competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, or FA Cup. This season's edition will be the first to be entitled as "The FA Cup sponsored by E.On".
The competition started on 18 August 2006 with the first of the record number of 687 teams entering in the Extra Preliminary Round and will conclude on 19 May 2007 with the Final. As with the previous year's competition, this is scheduled to be at the new Wembley Stadium; however it is possible that the stadium will not be completed in time. In this event the final will once more be staged at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
