The 2025–26 Danish Women's Cup is the 33rd edition of the Danish Women's Cup. F.C. Copenhagen made headlines in the first round, when the team, who compete in the second tier B-Liga, beat seventh tier non-league opponents Frederiksberg Boldklub with double figures 23–0.[1][2][3][4] Defending champions Fortuna Hjørring were seen off in the second round by newly promoted team FC Midtjylland.[5]
Teams
A total of 58 teams enter the 2025–26 Women's Cup. Six preliminary rounds take place in the non-league tiers (4–7) of the Danish football league system, overseen by the six respective regional departments of the Danish Football Association (DBU), culminating in 30 participating teams. 24 are from the A-Liga, B-Liga, and C-Liga play-offs of the previous season. For the second round, the six teams from the previous season's A-Liga championship play-offs join the competition to face the 26 winners of the first round.[6]
Solrød FC exited the B-Liga in the spring of 2025 and dissolved the team due to a lack of players for the squad.[7] The club's spot in the C-Liga play-offs was not filled, and instead awarded to the non-league qualification - therefore a total of 31 non-league teams compete in the cup where it is normally 30.
