The showpiece match on June 3 is a Manchester derby for the first time in the competition’s 151-year history.
The clash of the north-west rivals led the Metropolitan Police to deem it a high-risk match and insist upon a kick-off time no later than 4.45pm.
On Wednesday afternoon the FA confirmed a 3pm kick-off time, the first occasion the final has been a 3pm kick-off since 2011.
The FA confirmed the winners would receive £2million in prize money, with the losing finalists banking £1million.
