The 2023 FA Cup final will kick off at the traditional time of 3pm, the Football Association has confirmed.
The showpiece match on June 3 is a Manchester derby for the first time in the competition’s 151-year history.
The clash of the north-west rivals led the Metropolitan Police to deem it a high-risk match and insist upon a kick-off time no later than 4.45pm.
