New format for the Turkish Cup
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Board of Directors has decided that the Turkish Cup will be played with a new format starting from the 2024-2025 season. The new format, shaped by a report presented to the TFF Board by Hypercube—the firm that prepared the Champions League format at the beginning of the season—following a value-enhancement study, will consist of qualifying rounds, group matches, and final stages.
1) Qualifying and final stages will be played according to a single-match elimination system.
Group matches will be played with the participation of 24 teams in 4 groups of 6 teams each, following the Swiss System that will also be implemented in the Champions League next season.
The rule in the current status where the seeded team plays on its own home ground will not be applied in the new status.
2) In the new format, the 24 teams that earn the right to participate in the groups will be ranked according to their league and success order and divided into 3 pots.
Each group will consist of 6 teams, with 2 teams from each pot.
Each team in the group will play a total of 3 matches, one against a team from each of the A, B, and C pots. As a result of the group matches, the teams that finish in the top 2 will advance to the quarterfinals.
3) The 5 teams that will represent our country in UEFA cups next season will participate directly in the group matches. The other 19 teams will earn the right to be in the group after the qualifying rounds.
THE SUPER CUP WILL ALSO BE PLAYED WITH A NEW FORMAT
The 2023-2024 Super Cup will be played between the Super Lig champion and the Turkish Cup champion.
From the following seasons onwards, the Super Cup will be played with its new format.
According to the new format, the Super Cup will be played as a final four tournament, with the participation of the 2024-2025 season Super Lig champion, the Super Lig runner-up, the Turkish Cup champion, and the Turkish Cup finalist.
