FA Cup semi-final hospitality packages 2026: compare packages and find the best deal

Two of the most compelling fixtures in the FA Cup calendar take place at Wembley Stadium this weekend, and if you are still looking for a way in or want to make the occasion something special then a hospitality package could be exactly the answer. Here is everything you need to know, including a full price comparison across the major providers.

The fixtures

Manchester City face Southampton on Saturday 25 April with a 5.15pm kick-off, while Chelsea take on Leeds United on Sunday 26 April at 3pm. Both ties are at Wembley Stadium and will be broadcast on TNT Sports, with the Saturday game also live on BBC One and iPlayer.

Man City vs Southampton — Saturday 25 April, 5.15pm

On paper this looks like a mismatch, but the FA Cup has a long memory for upsets, and Southampton have history at Wembley worth noting. Their three wins at the national stadium include the 1976 FA Cup final against Manchester United — still one of the great upsets in the competition’s history.

For Southampton fans especially, this is a genuinely rare occasion. A trip to a Wembley semi-final does not come along often, and with tickets scarce and the occasion significant, this is exactly the kind of match where a hospitality package transforms a day out into something properly memorable, whether that is a birthday treat, a gift, or simply making the most of a fixture that may not come around again for some time.

Chelsea vs Leeds — Sunday 26 April, 3pm

Chelsea have been the competition’s most clinical side this season — leading scorers in the FA Cup with 20 goals, scoring at least four in every game. However, Leeds are not here to make up the numbers. They are unbeaten in both Premier League meetings with Chelsea this season, and Chelsea have progressed from nine of their last eleven FA Cup semi-finals — meaning two defeats have slipped through in that run.

For Leeds fans, this is the kind of once-in-a-generation Wembley day that warrants doing properly. The last Leeds player to score at Wembley was Eric Cantona, completing his hat-trick in a 4-3 win over Liverpool in the 1992 Charity Shield. If you are a Leeds fan and you can get there, get there — and if you can make a day of it, even better.

Why consider a hospitality package?

Regular match tickets for both semi-finals are largely sold out or extremely limited through official channels. For fans who have not been able to secure a standard ticket, hospitality packages from authorised providers represent one of the most reliable remaining routes into the ground.

Beyond access, the hospitality experience transforms the day itself. Rather than queuing in the cold and navigating stadium catering, you arrive to a dedicated lounge, take your seat in the Club Level, and have the full matchday wrapped around the football rather than competing with it. For a special occasion — a birthday, an anniversary, a gift for someone who has supported their team through decades of near-misses — it is genuinely worth considering.

It is also worth knowing that all of the providers we list in our comparison tables below are recognised official ticketing agents. You can verify this directly on Wembley’s own website, which lists every authorised reseller for experiences at the national stadium. Booking through a listed provider gives you the confidence that your tickets are legitimate and your booking is protected.

What the Taphouse Social package typically includes

All packages listed in our comparison below are Taphouse Social packages — the hospitality tier available for both semi-finals at Wembley this weekend. Here is exactly what is included:

Seating: Premium padded seats on Level 2, in the end allocated to your chosen club.

Dining: Access to the Taphouse Kitchen Diner, where food is available to purchase throughout the day.

Drinks: Access to the Taphouse Social Bar, where drinks are available to purchase.

Match programme: Usually included with every package.

Dress code: Smart casual.

Opening time: Three hours before kick-off, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the match.

Closing time: One hour after the final whistle.

It’s worth nothing that food and drink at the Taphouse are available to purchase rather than included in the package price, so factor that into your overall budget for the day. The package price covers your seat, lounge access, and programme.

Compare prices across providers

We have pulled together pricing from the major authorised providers for both semi-finals below. Prices vary significantly across providers for identical packages, in some cases by hundreds of pounds, so it’s worth doing your research before booking.

Our experience of FA Cup hospitality at Wembley

We have written previously about what FA Cup hospitality at Wembley is actually like, having attended last year’s final through a hospitality lounge package at the same venue. If you are weighing up whether the experience is worth the investment, our honest first-hand review covers exactly what to expect, what impressed us, and where we felt the experience fell slightly short of expectations.

The short version: the seat and the occasion are the highlights. Go in with clear expectations about the lounge and catering, and you will not be disappointed.

A note on pricing and availability

Prices across providers for the Chelsea vs Leeds semi-final in particular are moving quickly, with several packages already marked as limited availability. If you are considering attending, it is worth acting sooner rather than later, especially for the Leeds end of the Chelsea tie, where the price differential between providers is significant and the cheapest options are selling fast.
