Chelsea Football Club has set an unprecedented record in English football by losing six consecutive domestic cup finals, a streak starting from 2019 and extending through 2024. The series of losses began with a 4-3 loss on penalties to Manchester City in the 2019 EFL Cup, followed by a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the 2020 FA Cup, a 1-0 loss to Leicester in the 2021 FA Cup, another defeat in the 2022 EFL Cup with an 11-10 loss on penalties to Liverpool, a defeat in the 2022 FA Cup, and culminating in a loss in the 2024 EFL Cup. This streak has been notable for occurring at Wembley Stadium, a venue historically considered as Chelsea's 'second home.'
