Non-league finals day is set for Sunday, May 17, at Wembley Stadium, featuring two cup finals that celebrate the best of semi-professional football. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
Kick-off time and location
The Isuzu FA Trophy Final between Southend United and Wealdstone is scheduled to kick off at 4:30pm on Sunday, May 17. The match will take place at Wembley Stadium in London, just one day after the FA Cup final also took place at the venue.
The wider event schedule
Non-league finals day begins much earlier than the Trophy final, with the FA Vase final between AFC Stoneham and Cockfosters kicking off at 12:30pm. This allows supporters to enjoy a full double-header of football at the national stadium, celebrating the very best of the semi-professional game.

Route to the final - FA Vase
AFC Stoneham entered in the second round proper and have reached the final after beating Kidlington, Cinderford Town, Barnstaple Town, Haywards Heath Town, Coventry United and Hallen. Cockfosters entered in the second qualifying round and have come through eight rounds, including a semi-final victory over Punjab United.
Route to the final - FA Trophy
Southend entered the FA Trophy in the third round proper and four of their five wins - including the semi-final at Southport - have come away from home. Wealdstone beat Robbie Savage's Forest Green Rovers during their run and needed a last-gasp Micah Obiero goal to overcome Marine in the semis.
Head-to-head record
The recent history between Southend and Wealdstone is incredibly tight, with each team claiming a victory over the other during the 2025/26 National League campaign. Wealdstone won the first encounter 3-2 at Grosvenor Vale in September, while Southend United secured a 2-1 win at Roots Hall just last month in April.
