The 2026–27 Lebanese FA Cup is the 53rd season of the Lebanese FA Cup, the national domestic cup competition for football in Lebanon.
The competition began on 6 September 2026. It featured 16 clubs in the round of 16, consisting of the 12 clubs that participated in the 2025–26 Lebanese Premier League, and the top four clubs from the 2025–26 Lebanese Second Division. The round of 16 is divided into four groups of four clubs, with each group played as a single round-robin. The top two clubs in each group advance to the quarter-finals.
The defending champions are Nejmeh, who defeated Sagesse 2–0 in the 2026 final to win their ninth Lebanese FA Cup title.
Changes to participating teams Mabarra were initially drawn to participate in the competition. However, on 2 September 2026, the club announced the suspension of all football activities and the dissolution of its football teams, citing the difficult economic conditions in Lebanon. Mabarra subsequently reached an agreement with Chabab Ghazieh for the latter to take over its position in the Premier League. Under the arrangement, Chabab Ghazieh's players were registered with Mabarra, and the team competed in the Lebanese FA Cup under the Mabarra name pending the completion of the administrative procedures required to change its name to Chabab Ghazieh.
