History

The 2025–26 FA Women's National League Cup was the 34th running of the FA Women's National League Cup, which began in 1991. It is the major league cup competition run by the FA Women's National League, and is run alongside their secondary league cup competition, the FA Women's National League Plate. The 2025–26 season saw a change to the format of the League Cup, with the introduction of a group stage and entry of Professional Game Academy sides for the first time. Teams were initially drawn into 22 groups of four teams who played each other once (not twice), and from which the 22 group winners and 10 best runners-up advance to the Cup knockout stages.
