The semi-finals of both competitions will be played over the weekend of August 17-18 and be broadcast live and free on FIFA+.

The Kate Sheppard Cup Final will see either Dunedin City Royals or holders Western Springs take on Wellington Phoenix Reserves or 2022 winners Auckland United.

In the Chatham Cup final, Coastal Spirit, or recently-crowned Central League winners Wellington Olympic, will face 2022 winners Auckland City or 2018 winners Birkenhead United.

Tickets for the double header cup finals will be available after the semi-finals, with adult tickets priced at $10 (excluding ticketing fees), and free entry for under 14s.

The kick-off time has been moved from the traditional early afternoon timeslot so as not to clash with the community football season and will form part of a bumper weekend of New Zealand football action, with the All Whites taking on Mexico on Sunday September 8 at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, United States.
