The 2025–26 Ukrainian Cup is the 34th annual season of Ukraine's football knockout competition and the 3rd during the full-scale Russian invasion. The competition started on 9 August 2025 and will be concluded in May of 2026. Champions qualify for the First qualifying round of 2026-27 UEFA Europa League.

All competition stages consisted of a single game, with a home-field advantage granted to a team from a lower league in the first two rounds. Draw was blind for all stages except the qualification round.

Teams from cities of bordering regions with the Russian Federation, such as Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, and others, are forced to play in other locations.

Highlights and changes to the format

Changes to the competition format were announced during the last season. Intent was to allow more amateur-level teams to participate in the competition.[1] The major change for this season is that teams from the regional associations (in addition to AAFU members) are participating for the first time since 1996.

This season, four teams represented the Ukrainian Association of Amateur Football, as the Ukrainian Amateur Cup's best performers (all semifinalists), instead of two.

On 7 May 2025,[2] the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF) agreed with the Ukrainian Premier League teams on their participation in this season's competition in a new format.[3]

Among other changes, there is expected to be no extra time after a match is tied; instead, the only tiebreaker is a penalty shootout.

Compared to the previous season, the prize awarding fund was increased by 25%. It was planned to pay 70% to the hosting teams and 30% to the visiting teams.[4]

In addition, the competition administration (UAF) presented a new trophy, along with a new slogan for the tournament: "Honor to oneself, glory to Ukraine." The previous trophy with Nike has been replaced with a new one containing a mace variation, Bulava.

The hosting team in this competition is selected differently from one stage to another. At the qualification/preliminary round, the hosting team was selected by draw. At the Round of 64 and the Round of 32, the hosting team is a team that plays in a lower league than the other team. If both teams are from the same league, the hosting team is identified as the one that received an odd number during a draw. For the rounds of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals, the hosting team is also determined as the one that received an odd number during a draw. For the final, the hosting team is determined by a draw.

The video assistant referee service for this competition was approved for the 24 stadiums mentioned in the competition's regulations.

Team allocation and schedule

The competition includes all professional first teams from the Premier League (16/16 teams of the league), First League (16/16), Second League (16/23) as well as 20 amateur teams including 4 best performers from the previous year's Amateur Cup and 16 from regional associations.
