Cup (Belgium) 2026/27

The Belgian Cup is the primary national knockout football competition in Belgium. It is a cross-level tournament open to all clubs in the Belgian football pyramid, from the top-tier Pro League down to provincial amateur leagues. Organized by the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA), the event was founded in 1911. The first club edition was played in the 1911–12 season, though it was suspended during World War I and World War II. It became an annual event in 1963–64 to align with the European Cup Winners' Cup.

The format consists of eight preliminary rounds followed by semi-finals and a final. Lower-league teams enter in the early rounds, while professional clubs from the Pro League and Challenger Pro League enter later. The semi-finals are played over two legs, while all other rounds, including the final at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, are single matches. The winner qualifies for the UEFA Europa League and the Belgian Super Cup.

Club Brugge holds the record for most titles with 12, followed by Anderlecht with 9 and Standard Liège with 8. Union Saint-Gilloise are the current champions. The competition is distinct from the Belgian Super Cup and the provincial cups. The clubs listed in the query are lower-league teams that typically participate in the early rounds or provincial qualifiers.
