The Premier League match will now take place on Friday, 16 May, with a kick-off time of 20:00 BST. Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports. Originally, the entire round of matches was set for 18 May, with the Premier League ensuring no fixtures would clash with the men's FA Cup final on 17 May. However, the women's final the following day posed a new challenge. Both clubs were adamant that supporters should have the opportunity to watch both the men's final and the women's final at Wembley, resulting in a request to reschedule the fixture, which was granted by the Premier League. The only other game not taking place on Sunday is Brighton's clash with Liverpool, which will now be played on Monday, 19 May, at 20:00 BST. Despite the Chelsea-United match occupying an existing TV slot, the Premier League's decision underscores the importance of the Women's FA Cup final as a premier event. Due to United's potential involvement in the Europa League final in Bilbao on 21 May, the fixture could not be moved to a later date.
