The 2026–27 Danish Women's Cup is the 34th edition of the Danish Women's Cup.
Teams A total of 57 teams enter the 2026–27 Women's Cup. Six preliminary rounds take place in the non-league tiers (4–7) of the Danish football league system, overseen by the six respective regional departments of the Danish Football Association (DBU), culminating in 29 participating teams. 22 are from the A-Liga, B-Liga, and C-Liga play-offs of the previous season. For the second round, the six teams from the previous season's A-Liga championship play-offs join the competition to face the 26 winners of the first round.
JAI Fodbold dissolved and withdrew from the 2025–26 C-Liga before the play-offs, leaving C-Liga with 11 teams instead of 12. While the 2025–26 Cup added a team from Series 2 (tier 7), this year one team – B73 Slagelse – sat out the first round by draw and was sent directly through to the second round.
