The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that the 2026/27 MTN FA Cup final will be contested over two legs, marking a historic change for Ghanaian domestic football. This is the first time the prestigious final will feature a two-legged format. The first leg of the final is scheduled for June 5-7, 2027, with the return leg to take place from June 12-13, 2027.
The decision aims to increase the competition's exposure and ensure both finalists have the chance to showcase their skills in front of their home supporters in a showpiece encounter. This departure from the traditional single-match final is expected to add more excitement and competition to Ghana's premier knockout tournament. The journey to this historic final will begin with the preliminary round, set for October 23-26, 2026.
Following this, the Round of 64 will occur from November 27-30, 2026. The Round of 32 will take place over the weekend of February 12-15, 2027. The quarter-finals are planned for March 19-22, 2027, with the semi-finals scheduled for April 23-26, 2027. The two-legged final will culminate the competition in June, providing the finalists with the opportunity to compete in two decisive encounters for the coveted trophy.
Nations FC emerged as champions last season, defeating Dreams FC 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time.
