Russian Cup: the Russian Football Union's cup, 2026-27 edition
Russian Cup is the men's cup competition of the Russian Football Union (RFS), which owns it and signs off its regulations and calendar; the rulebook now in force runs from 2025-26 to 2028-29. Since 2022-23 the competition has split clubs between two routes: Premier League sides take the RPL Path, lower-division and amateur teams the Regions Path, while a top-flight club can get a second life before elimination. This season moves through three stages: the RPL Path groups running alongside the Regions Path qualifying rounds, then the play-offs of both paths, then a single-match final set for 6 June 2027.
