The 2025 Norwegian Football Cup was the 119th season of the Norwegian annual knock-out football tournament. It started on 26 March 2025. The final was played on 6 December 2025. The winners were supposed to play in the qualifying play-off match against the winner of 2025–26 Norwegian Football Cup for the place in 2026–27 Europa League play-off round. However, this qualifying play-off match was cancelled because Bodø/Glimt ended up winning the 2025–26 Norwegian Football Cup (whom were already qualified for the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round by finishing 2nd in the 2025 Eliteserien). Therefore, Lillestrøm, the winner of this tournament, will enter the 2026–27 Europa League play-off round.
