According to the Premier League reform of 2020-2026 54 38+0, five teams in the Premier League will participate in the European League, including the Premier League champion, the FA Cup champion and the Carling Cup champion. So, if a team wins the FA Cup, it has a chance to play in the European League. However, in order to participate in the European League, this team must also qualify for the Premier League or other top leagues in England.
For example, if a team wins the FA Cup, but ranks 18 in the Premier League, then it cannot participate in the European League. In addition, if the FA Cup champion happens to be the Premier League champion, he is eligible to participate in two European leagues, one is the Premier League champion and the other is the FA Cup champion. In short, if a team wins the FA Cup, it will have a chance to participate in the European League, but only if it has a qualified ranking in the Premier League or other top leagues in England.
The way to participate in the FA Cup
There is no seed team in the FA Cup, and the match and home and away games are completely decided by lottery. The competition is divided into eight rounds. The first two rounds were given to amateurs, English Football League I and English Football League II teams, and English Football Premier League and English Football Champions League teams joined the competition in the third round. The competition is divided into eight rounds. Before the quarter-finals, if each round is tied within 90 minutes, a rematch is needed. The two teams will exchange rematches.
If the rematch is tied within 90 minutes, it will take extra time to decide the outcome. If overtime doesn't decide the outcome, it will be decided by penalty kick. The semi-finals and finals will be held at Wembley Stadium in London. If the two teams draw within 90 minutes, it will take extra time to decide the result. If it is still undecided in overtime, it will be decided by penalty kick.
