The 2026 Football Association Cup is the latest season of the FAS FA Cup, which is open to all teams from Singapore Football League (SFL) and Island Wide League (IWL) in Singapore.
Summary
On 20 March 2026, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) announced an invitation to non-member clubs to participate in the 2026 Island Wide League and 2026 FA Cup. The 2026 FA Cup will commence after the conclusion of the league season and will be played from August to October 2026.
SFL 2 team Warwick Knights are the defending champions, having defeated Police SA in the 2025 season's final. They are given a bye to the second round of the competition.
The 2026 FA Cup officially kicks off with 6 matches being played on 22 August 2026.
On 23 August 2026, Sembawang City and Sembawang Park Rangers breached the regulations by failing to maintain the required minimum of two Under-23 Singaporean players on the field throughout the match.
On 28 August 2026, the FAS announced that the results of both matches would be overturned. GFA Victoria and Ayer Rajah Gryphons will be awarded 3–0 wins for the match against Sembawang City and Sembawang Park Rangers respectively. This resulted in the elimination of both infringing clubs in the first round of the competition.
