Russian Cup: two paths to a single final
Russian Cup is run by the Russian Football Union and has been played on two paths since the 2022-23 season. Premier League clubs go through the RPL Path, lower-division and amateur sides through the Regions Path, and a top-flight club beaten in the last 16 or quarter-finals of its own path can still bounce back on the other one. Both paths meet in a one-match final.
Groups first, knockouts after
In 2026-27 the 16 Premier League clubs are drawn into four groups, four teams in each, and play each other home and away: six matchdays and 48 games. The top two in each group reach the RPL Path play-offs, while third place drops into the Regions Path play-offs. In our list, every game of this phase carries a label such as Russian Premier League Path. Group Stage. Group D. Tour 6, and the match page offers, besides 1X2, the Team Wins market with only W1 and W2 and no draw.
