The special yellow strip marks 50 years since they won the FA Cup in 1976 against Manchester United. Saints have worn the kit in all of their previous rounds of the competition this season, beating Doncaster, Leicester, Fulham and Arsenal on the way to Wembley.
The FA has confirmed the match will be played on Saturday 25 April, kicking off at 17:15 BST. Saints have been allocated the west end of Wembley – the same end their fans were in for the 2024 Championship play-off final when they beat Leeds United. They booked their spot in the semi-finals with a memorable win over Premier League leaders Arsenal when Ross Stewart and Shea Charles fired them to victory.
The game will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
