Some buddies and I are scheduling a trip to England in March of 2020 for our 40th birthday's. We are all turning 40 around the same time so we're doing a big trip for a week or so. We are wanting to go to some soccer matches and need some help from any of you that are more informed than I am!

Our plan right now is to go around March 20th weekend when the FA cup is in the quarterfinals and then some premier league games as well. The FA cup quarterfinals are on Saturday March 20th and then the premier league has games on the same day. Most of the time PL plays on Saturday and Sunday but their website is not showing any Sunday games for the 21st. Anyone know if they change the schedule closer to the weekend or if all games are going to be on Saturday?

There is a 5th round game earlier in March on a Wednesday for the FA cup and then premier league games that weekend which would be the safe bet. Would rather go to the quarterfinals instead of 5th round though.

Thanks for any help.

March 21st is a Saturday. If there will be a date change, it won't be until late January at the earliest.

Depends on who is playing.

FA cup fifth round draw date is January 27 and the quarterfinal draw date is March 4.

Those schedules will change. They’ll have Saturday and Sunday games and midweek games as these cups progress and then when the TV schedules are made it messes it all up too.

The league cup final is March 1 if you have a team you like that is still in that competition.

This is what I was looking for. Looks like we're going to try and plan for going late March and see the quarterfinal game on the 21st and then PL action on the 22nd.

We have our trip planned and are going to the Leicester City v Birmingham city FA cup game on March 4th. We’re then headed to the Crystal Palace v Watford in the 7th.

Anyone have any tips on how to get tickets?

Go on the club website

You might have to get a membership

That FA cup match might be hard though if it’s not already sold out. It’s basically a midlands derby
