The 2025–26 Singapore Cup was the 26th edition of the Singapore Cup, Singapore's annual premier club football knock-out tournament organised by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).
The winner qualified to the group stage of the 2026–27 AFC Champions League Two. Lion City Sailors are the defending champions, having won the tournament in the previous season. Sailors won the final 2–0 after extra time to retain the trophy. However, the FAS awarded them a 3–0 win by forfeit as Tampines Rovers FC did not play with at least four Singaporean players on the pitch at all times during the match.
Format Seven teams competed in this season's competition. The Young Lions participated in this edition of the Singapore Cup as they prepared for the 2025 SEA Games, which was held in Thailand from 3 to 18 December.
All teams had to maintain a minimum of four Singaporean players on the pitch for the whole match, unless a Singaporean player had been sent off by the referee.
The two top teams in the previous season, Lion City Sailors and BG Tampines Rovers (who were last season's finalists), automatically advanced to the semi-finals based on their sporting performance. The other five teams will compete in a single round-robin group stage, with each club playing four matches. The top two teams from this group will then progress to the two-legged semi-finals.
