The2016–17FA Cup (also known as theFA Challenge Cup) was the 136th edition of the oldest recognisedfootball tournament in the world. It was sponsored byEmirates, and known asThe Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship purposes. 736 clubs were accepted into the tournament,[1] and it began with the extra preliminary round on 6 August 2016, and concluded with the final on 27 May 2017.[2] The winner qualified for the2017–18 UEFA Europa League group stage.
Premier League sideManchester United were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals byChelsea.
Arsenal won a record-breaking 13th title following a 2–1 win over Chelsea in thefinal, winning their third FA Cup in 4 seasons.
The tournament was also notable for the performance ofLincoln City fromLevel 5, who became the first non-league club to reach the quarter-finals since1914.[3]
This edition of the FA Cup was the first in which quarter-final matches were played to a result on the day, instead of being subject to replay in case of a draw. However, all four matches were settled without the need for extra time.[4][5][6]

A total of eight clubs played in the quarter-finals, all winners of the fifth round. The draw was held on 19 February 2017 atEwood Park, home ofBlackburn Rovers F.C., immediately following the Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United match.[21] Matches were played between 11 and 13 March 2017.
In a break from tradition, the FA officially renamed the stage the 'Quarter-finals', the name that had been used colloquially to describe what was previously called the sixth round proper.[22] Changes to previous rules meant that tied matches would have gone toextra-time and potentially apenalty shootout at this stage rather than to areplay, and that a fourthsubstitute would have been permitted in extra time.[22] The round includedLincoln City fromLevel 5, who became the first non-league club to reach the quarter-finals since1914.[3]
