With 14 titles, Arsenal have lifted the FA Cup more often than any other club, narrowly ahead of Manchester United on 13. The two are the only sides to have won English football’s oldest knockout competition more than eight times, and the gap to the rest is stark, no other club has reached double figures.
Behind the leaders sits a four-way tie on eight titles between Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. From there the list stretches deep into the game’s history: Blackburn Rovers (6), West Bromwich Albion (5) and the Victorian-era Wanderers FC (5) are reminders that the competition’s roll of honour reaches all the way back to the first final in 1872. Even the clubs at the foot of this chart, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers, hold four titles apiece, a tally many modern clubs would envy.
