As part of Non-League Finals Day, the FA Vase final was played earlier in the day at the same venue. [2] Each club from both matches had its supporters allocated to one of four dedicated sections of Wembley Stadium. Gateshead fans were housed on the east side of the stadium while followers of Solihull were on the west side. There was also a neutral section for other spectators. [3] The match was televised live on TNT Sports 1, while BBC Radio Newcastle and BBC Radio WM provided radio commentary. [4]

As participants in the 2023–24 National League, the clubs met twice during the league season. Gateshead won 2–1 in the first meeting, [5] followed by a 3–2 Solihull win in the reverse fixture. [6] After finishing 5th and 6th respectively, the teams were also scheduled to meet in the play-offs, however Gateshead were removed from the play-offs due to not meeting the EFL's ground ownership criteria.
