The 2026–27 Greek Football Cup, also named Superbet Greek Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the 85th edition of the Greek Football Cup. The winners will qualify for the 2027–28 UEFA Europa League play-off round, as well as the next season's Greek Super Cup.
The teams of the 2 professional national leagues, Super League 1 and Super League 2 will participate once again.
The competition will begin on 11 August 2026 with the qualifying round, which will include the Super League 2 teams without the B Teams and the cup winners of the Local FCAs, should they opt to participate.
In addition, extra time is abolished in matches up to the semi-finals, while each team is required to have at least two Greek players born in 2004 or later in the starting lineup and in the whole game. Additionally, players who accumulate enough yellow cards to trigger a suspension after the conclusion of the semi-final stage will no longer be barred from participating in the final.
This year's competition will follow the new conducting system from last year's competition, which includes a qualifying round, league phase, play-offs, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, adapting the format of the competition to the UEFA standards.
OFI are the defending champions having won the 2025–26 edition of this cup.
