The 2025–26 FA Youth Cup was the 74th edition of the competition.

The competition consisted of several rounds and was preceded by a qualifying competition, starting with one preliminary round which was followed by three qualifying rounds for non-League teams. The Football League teams entered the draw thereafter, with League One and League Two teams entered in the first round proper, and Premier League and Championship teams entered in the third round proper.

535 clubs were accepted into the competition almost 100 less than last year's competition although this is because 10th tier clubs are no longer eligible for the competition. The current defending Champions are Aston Villa who defeated Manchester City 3–1 at the Villa Park in front of 25,073 fans.
