The 2025–26 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup was the 24th edition of the Scottish Women's Premier League's league cup competition, which began in 2002. It was sponsored by Sky Sports and officially known as the Sky Sports Scottish Women's Premier League Cup. The competition was contested by all 20 teams of the two divisions of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL 1 and SWPL 2).
Rangers were the three-time defending champions and reached the final for the fourth year in succession, but lost to Glasgow City.

Final The final, played at Fir Park in Motherwell on 29 March 2026, was played between Glasgow City (six-time winners in previous years but most recently in 2015, with three final defeats since), and Rangers (the holders, whose first final in 2022–23 resulted in victory, with the trophy retained in 2023–24 and 2024–25). The two teams had never met in the SWPL Cup final, but had contested the Scottish Cup final in 2008–09, won by Glasgow City, and 2024–25, won by Rangers. At the time of the match, both were still in contention for the season's SWPL championship (though ultimately this would be won by Hearts); they had met three times in league fixtures, with a 1–0 win for City, a draw and a 1–0 win for Rangers a week before the cup final. In the semi-finals, Glasgow City defeated reigning league champions Hibernian while Rangers overcame rivals Celtic via a penalty shootout after a thrilling 3–3 draw.Glasgow City vs Rangers Women: Route to Sky Sports Cup Final revisited as SWPL leaders and trophy holders meet at Motherwell's Fir Park, Sky Sports, 28 March 2026
