Manchester City FC and Southampton FC are scheduled to play a professional FA Cup match on April 25, 2026. This event group contains markets resolving based on the final outcome after 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time (excluding extra time and penalties). The match outcome will be determined by official governing body statistics or credible reporting consensus if official data is unavailable within 2 hours of conclusion.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Polymarket and Kalshi resolve based on the official match outcome after 90 minutes plus stoppage time on April 25, 2026, with identical treatment of postponements and cancellations across all three possible outcomes (Manchester City win, Southampton win, or draw).
Primary resolution logic:
Official statistics from the governing body (The FA) or event organizers, with fallback to consensus of credible reporting if official statistics are not published within 2 hours of match conclusion.
Core resolution logic:
Manchester City win market resolves YES if Manchester City wins in 90 minutes plus stoppage time; NO otherwise.
Southampton win market resolves YES if Southampton wins in 90 minutes plus stoppage time; NO otherwise.
Draw market resolves YES if the match ends in a draw in 90 minutes plus stoppage time; NO otherwise.
Exactly ONE of the three markets will resolve YES (mutually exclusive outcomes).
Extra time and penalties are excluded from resolution scope.
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Match Postponement: If the match is postponed, all markets remain open until the game is completed and a result is determined.
Match Cancellation: If the match is canceled entirely with no make-up game, the Manchester City and Southampton win markets resolve NO, while the draw market resolves YES (treating cancellation as a non-result equivalent to a draw for resolution purposes).
Resolution Timing: Resolution uses official FA statistics as the primary source; if unavailable within 2 hours of match conclusion, credible reporting consensus is used instead.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon official announcement of the final match result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, with a 2-hour window for official statistics publication before fallback to credible reporting consensus.
