The 2026 Football Kenya Federation (FKF Cup) is set to get underway on Saturday, February 7, with 32 thrilling fixtures lined up for the Round of 64.
This competition is about more than just the prize; it’s a chance for teams to come together, bringing top-flight clubs and lower-division sides into the fray.
They will be battling for the increased winner’s purse of three million Kenya Shillings, as well as a spot to represent the nation in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
Nairobi United are the defending champions, having edged out Gor Mahia last season. They earned qualification to the continental showpiece, making history by already reaching the Group Stage, where they are yet to secure a victory.
In this round, 15 SportPesa League teams are among the 64 drawn. The second tier, the National Super League, contributes just three clubs, while 16 teams come from Division One.
Another 16 sides are from Division Two, joined by four regional clubs, one from the county level, two from the sub-county, and seven non-league teams.
FKF Cup 25/26 Round of 64 Preview
On Saturday, 13 fixtures will take place across various stadiums around the country.
Headlining the day, last season’s runners-up Gor Mahia will aim to push even harder this campaign and reclaim the title when they visit Dero FC at Mamboleo Stadium in Kisumu, in what promises to be an exciting encounter for both sides.
