The 2026 Thai League Cup final was the culmination of the 2025–26 Thai League Cup, the 16th season of Thailand's knockout football competition in its second era. The match was played on 24 May 2026 at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand. It featured BG Pathum United, based in Thanyaburi, Pathum Thani in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, and Port, based in Khlong Toei, Bangkok—two of the leading clubs in the Thai League 1. This edition marked a rebranding of the competition following a change in title sponsor, from Toyota Motor Thailand to Muang Thai Life Assurance and Muang Thai Insurance, with the tournament being renamed the Muang Thai Cup.
BG Pathum United made their fourth final appearance, having finished as runners-up in 2018 (as Bangkok Glass) and 2023 before winning their first title in 2024. Meanwhile, Port reached their third final, having won the inaugural edition of the second era in 2010 and finished as runners-up in 2011. Despite both clubs' prior appearances in the final, this marked their first meeting in a Thai League Cup final.
In addition to the trophy, Port, as the champions, received a prize of 5 million baht and qualified for the 2026–27 ASEAN Club Championship, following their 1–0 victory over BG Pathum United.
