The1968–69 FA Cup was the 88th season of the world's oldestfootball cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as theFA Cup.Manchester City won the competition for the fourth time, beatingLeicester City 1–0 inthe final atWembley, through a goal fromNeil Young.

Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. Some matches, however, might be rescheduled for other days if there were clashes with games for other competitions or the weather was inclement. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period ofextra time would be played. The 1968–69 tournament was remarkable in that no second replays were required at any point throughout the main event.
