The 2025–26 Turkish Cup was the 64th edition of the Turkish Football Cup, also known as the Ziraat Turkish Cup, with a total of 155 participating teams, made up of 139 professional and 16 amateur clubs. The competition started with four qualifying rounds, then a group stage, and a final stage, spanning 11 matchweeks.
The group stage featured three groups of eight teams. The 24 teams participating in the group stage were divided into four pots each containing six teams. Through a draw, groups were formed with two teams from each pot. In the group stage, each team played four matches in total, facing one team from each pot. Of these matches, two were at home and two away.
At the end of the group stage, the top two teams from each group (six in total), along with the two best third-placed teams, advanced to the quarter-finals, making eight teams in total. In the quarter-finals, the group winners and the best second-placed team were seeded and played their matches at home. A draw then determined the semi-final pairings and the home teams.
Galatasaray were the defending champions, after winning the cup in the previous edition, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Gençlerbirliği.
