Craig Pawson will referee the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool at Wembley on May 14.
The 43-year-old has already been informed and the Football Association are expected to make an announcement later on Thursday, according to The Telegraph.
Pawson will lead to the two sides out as Liverpool and Chelsea clash in a Wembley final for the second time this season.
The Sheffield native is one of ten Fifa-ranked referees in the select group one list in the Premier League, which makes him the most senior official to have never refereed an FA Cup final.
