Cup (Czechia) 2026/27: Table and Fixtures

The Czech Cup, currently known as the MOL Cup, stands as the primary domestic knockout football competition in the Czech Republic. Organized by the Football Association of the Czech Republic (FAČR), it serves as the second most important domestic trophy after the top-flight Fortuna Liga. The tournament operates on a single-leg knockout format that distinguishes it from the league system, where there is no promotion or relegation; its sole tangible reward is European qualification.

The competition is open to all registered clubs in the country, typically involving between 135 and 156 teams. The structure begins with preliminary rounds for lower-league amateur teams from Levels 4 and 5, progressing through single-leg ties. Teams from the second tier, the Chance Národní Liga, and non-European top-flight clubs from the Chance Liga enter in later stages. European participants join specifically in the Round of 32. The final is contested as a single-leg match, with the winner securing a place in the UEFA Europa League.

AC Sparta Prague holds the record for the most titles with eight wins, according to available data. The club also remains the current holder of the trophy. This competition is distinct from the Czech Super Cup, which was a single match between the league and cup winners held from 2010 to 2015. It is also separate from the former Czech-Slovak Supercup. The tournament sits below the league system in prestige but remains a critical pathway for lower-tier clubs to reach higher levels of European competition. It was founded in 1993 after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, replacing the previous Czechoslovak Cup. The inclusion of clubs like Slavia Vejprnice, Pěnčín, Pustá Polom, Písek, Táborsko, and Dobrovice highlights the broad participation across various levels of Czech football.
