2022–23 Albanian Cup (Albanian: Kupa e Shqipërisë) was the seventy-first season of Albania's annual cup competition, the Albanian Cup. Egnatia won the cup, their first title in the competition.

Format

[edit]

Ties are played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregate score is tied after both games, the match is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out, if necessary.[1]

Preliminary round

[edit]

In order to reduce the number of participating teams for the first round to 32, a preliminary tournament is played. In contrast to the main tournament, the preliminary tournament is held as a single-leg knock-out competition. The matches were played on 15 September 2022.
