Sam Ricketts turned a corner from Kevin Kilbane in to his own net after 5 minutes to open the scoring. Antonio Valencia scored after 13 minutes and provided the cross for Amr Zaki to stroke home in the second half. Five minutes later Emile Heskey scored from a poor clearance by Wayne Brown. Nine minutes from time Amr Zaki drove in off the crossbar to inflict the first defeat of the season on Hull. An away game at managerless Newcastle United followed. Nicky Butt's foul on Péter Halmosi resulted in a penalty which Marlon King converted to open the scoring for City. He slotted home a second goal 10 minutes into the second half. Newcastle tried to get back into the match and a Charles N'Zogbia shot rebounded off the post to Xisco who finished to make the score 1–2. As full-time approached, Danny Guthrie was sent off for a foul on Craig Fagan, which broke Fagan's leg. The final score was a 1–2 City victory. A home game against Everton followed in which City took the lead from a Dean Marney corner which was headed home by Michael Turner. Early in the second half another Dean Marney corner was turned in by Phil Neville for an own goal. Everton pulled one back when a Tim Cahill shot bounced in off the crossbar. They drew level minutes later when Leon Osman scored from close range to secure a 2–2 draw. A trip to Arsenal provided a test for the City but they withstood the pressure during the first half. Following the restart the home team were soon in front when a Cesc Fàbregas shot found the net after deflecting off Paul McShane. City responded with a 25 yd m on shot by Geovanni quickly followed by a Daniel Cousin header from an Andy Dawson corner. Arsenal's William Gallas hit the crossbar and Boaz Myhill saved a late shot from Cesc Fàbregas to give the visitors a 1–2 victory. A further away game at Tottenham Hotspur followed. City raced into the lead with a 30 yd m on free kick by Geovanni after just nine minutes. Tottenham's Gareth Bale and Jonathan Woodgate hit the woodwork, as did Dean Marney before half time. Neither side managed to score in the second half giving City a 0–1 victory. After a break for internationals a home game against West Ham United was next up. City's Marlon King created the first opportunity with a cross to Daniel Cousin who volleyed just passed the post. At the other end Carlton Cole shot straight at Boaz Myhill. Dean Marney came close twice for City before Hérita Ilunga headed wide, Valon Behrami shot past the post and Craig Bellamy shot over the crossbar. The game was goalless at half time. Soon after the restart, a corner by Andy Dawson was headed home by Michael Turner to open the scoring. Carlton Cole nearly levelled immediately but his shot came off the crossbar. Kamil Zayatte almost had a second for Hull but shot over the bar leaving Hull with a 1–0 victory over the visitors. An away match at West Bromwich Albion was the next action by the Tigers. Albion opened the stronger, with Ishmael Miller being blocked by Andy Dawson who picked up an injury which saw him being substituted for Sam Ricketts after only 10 minutes. Albion's Borja Valero had a shot that was saved by Boaz Myhill, Jonas Olsson hitting the rebound off the crossbar for Roman Bednář to miss the second rebound. On a break City gained a corner but Kamil Zayatte headed wide. A Daniel Cousin shot was deflected and Scott Carson scooped the ball off the line to leave the game goalless at half time. Soon after the restart City gained a corner and Kamil Zayatte volleyed home. Albion's Ryan Donk and James Morrison had shots saved before Marlon King put the ball into the area for a diving Geovanni to head in. Minutes later Marlon King was also on the score sheet after slotting in to the corner of the net, leaving it another away victory of 0–3 for City. A mid-week home game against leaders Chelsea followed, with a record crowd at the KC Stadium. Chelsea were soon in the lead when Frank Lampard lobbed in. Soon after the break indecision in the City defence allowed Nicolas Anelka to run in and slot home. After missing several attempts Florent Malouda finally scored from six yards from a Ricardo Carvalho cross. City lost 0–3 in a match which could have been an even heavier defeat. Then on 1 November the Tigers travelled to Old Trafford to play Manchester United away from home. The match was gripping, and after 3 minutes United scored only to be brought back to earth by the Tigers free kick headed in by Daniel Cousin. United went on to score a further 3 goals, but after half time the Tigers scored two more goals in the final few minutes through Bernard Mendy and Giovanni. The final score was 4–3 to Manchester United.

The teams met again in the FA Cup so to avoid a similar incident, Hull wore the previous season's all-white away kit in the replay at St James' Park. The goalkeeper kit was light blue, a similar colour had been used as an away shirt in previous seasons. Hull's kit was produced by Umbro and the home shirt had Karoo printed on the front as the sponsor, as did the goalkeeper's shirt; the away and third shirts however had Kingston Communications as the sponsor on the front.

The match took place on 3 January 2009 at the KC Stadium and although both sides had chances, neither were able to break the dead-lock. A replay at St James' Park took place on 14 January 2009. Newcastle had the better of the first-half. After 21 minutes, Nicky Butt headed a free kick onto the crossbar and later, after a clash of Hull defenders, Michael Owen shot high with only Matt Duke to beat. After half-time, Owen had a low shot low turned round the post by Duke, while Charles N'Zogbia had a shot blocked by Zayatte. Cousin broke the dead-lock on 81 minutes by turning in a Garcia cross. Newcastle had opportunities to equalise but failed to find the target. Hull's 0–1 win at Newcastle put them in the draw for the fourth round and they were given another home match this time against Football League One team Millwall. The match took place on 24 January 2009 at the KC Stadium. Hull fielded a changed team which saw goalkeeper Tony Warner getting a debut. Turner put Hull in the lead with a header following a Dawson free kick. Millwall failed to make the most of their opportunities and Hull sealed the match with a late strike by Ashbee. Hull entered the fifth round for the first time since 1989 and were given an away tie with local team Sheffield United. The local derby match took place on 14 February 2009 at Bramall Lane. Sheffield were quickly on the score sheet with a header by Greg Halford from a cross by David Cotterill. Hull responded before half time when Kamil Zayatte headed in an Andy Dawson centre. There were opportunities for both sides in the second half but no one was able to break the 1–1 dead-lock. The fifth round replay took place on 26 February at the KC stadium. Hull took the lead when a header from United defender Kyle Naughton bounced off his own crossbar and crossed the line for an own-goal. United levelled soon after with a Billy Sharp shot. City sealed the match early in the second half when Péter Halmosi shot in from a Nick Barmby cross. Hull's 2–1 win gave them a place in the last eight for the first time in 38 years. A quarter-final game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on 17 March 2009 was the prize for getting to this stage in the competition. Hull started the best and after 13 minutes took the lead when a Nick Barmby shot from an Andy Dawson cross was deflected into the Arsenal net. A Geovanni free kick was pushed over by Cesc Fàbregas followed by a Nick Barmby goal being disallowed for offside. Kamil Zayatte also came close with a header before Arsenal started to reply before the break with an Andrey Arshavin shot blocked by Sam Ricketts. Following the break Arsenal continued to apply pressure with Abou Diaby heading wide and then Andrei Arshavin being blocked by Sam Ricketts. A Robin van Persie header was blocked on the line by Andy Dawson and Alex Song shot the rebound wide. Following sustained pressure, Hull were pegged back by Robin van Persie after 74 minutes. Hull almost regained the lead from a Geovanni shot which went wide, but Samir Nasri lofted a free-kick into the area which keeper Boaz Myhill failed to hold and William Gallas headed home the winner from what looked like an offside position. Hull could not respond and lost the match 1–2 on the night with Arsenal going on to play Chelsea in the semi-final.
