Turkish Cup 2025–2026: from the knockout calendar to the final result

The Turkish Cup ended with Trabzonspor winning the trophy by beating Konyaspor 2–1 in Antalya on 22 May 2026. This guide distinguishes the calendar announced in January from the dates on which the matches actually took place and explains the knockout format. The supplementary reply covers the goals and the club’s title record.

Updated 15 October 2026. The competition has concluded; the original dates are a historical record, not a forthcoming fixture list.

The initial plan and the actual dates​

Round	Calendar announced on 21 January	Actual dates
Quarter-finals	21–23 April 2026	21–23 April 2026
Semi-finals	12–14 May 2026	5 and 13 May 2026
Final	24 May 2026	22 May 2026, at 20:45 in Türkiye

The initial announcement allowed for later changes. Beşiktaş’s home semi-final was brought forward because the stadium had to be handed over for the Europa League final. The cup final was subsequently moved from 24 to 22 May. The 24 May date therefore does not describe when the final was played.

How did the knockout format work?​

• Each tie was a single knockout match.
• The final was played at a neutral venue selected by TFF: Corendon Airlines Park in Antalya.
• In the quarter-finals, the three group winners and the best runners-up were seeded and hosted their ties. Semi-final hosts were determined by the draw.

Why does a single match matter?​

The format makes every tie consequential: one defeat ends a team’s campaign, while a win moves it closer to a major domestic trophy. Following cautious game management and decisive details can be useful, while assessments of favourites and dark horses remain football analysis rather than guaranteed outcomes.

How did the season conclude?​

Trabzonspor beat Konyaspor 2–1 in the final on 22 May. TFF then ratified the competition’s results on 25 May. The match date and the date of official ratification are separate milestones; one should not replace the other in the record.

For discussion​

Does a single-match format make the competition more exciting, or give upsets greater influence? Connect your view to a particular tie from the season, checking the actual dates and results rather than relying only on the initial calendar.

تصحيح موعد النهائي: التاريخ الفعلي للمباراة هو 22 مايو 2026. أما تاريخ 24 مايو المذكور في المشاركة الأصلية فلا يمثل موعد إقامتها الفعلي. فاز طرابزون سبور على قونية سبور 2–1، ثم اعتُمد بطلًا رسميًا في 25 مايو.

طرابزون سبور يحسم كأس تركيا في مايو 2026

انتهى موسم كأس تركيا 2025–2026 بتتويج طرابزون سبور، بعدما هزم قونية سبور 2–1 في النهائي الذي أُقيم يوم 22 مايو 2026 بملعب كورندون إيرلاينز بارك في أنطاليا. وكانت هذه المباراة خاتمة النسخة الرابعة والستين من البطولة، لتنتقل متابعة الأدوار والمواعيد إلى سجل نتائج مكتمل.

ثنائية أونواتشو تصنع الفارق

افتتح بول أونواتشو التسجيل في الدقيقة 18، وأدرك جاكسون موليكا التعادل لقونية في الدقيقة 50. ثم أهدر إنيس باردي ركلة جزاء في الدقيقة 58، قبل أن يعود أونواتشو ويسجل هدف الفوز من ركلة جزاء في الدقيقة 79. واختير مهاجم طرابزون لاعب المباراة بعد تسجيله هدفي فريقه.

أبرز محطات النهائي

الدقيقة أو المحطة	الحدث	النتيجة عقب الحدث
18	هدف أونواتشو لطرابزون سبور	طرابزون 1–0 قونية
50	هدف موليكا لقونية سبور	التعادل 1–1
58	باردي يهدر ركلة جزاء لقونية	التعادل 1–1
79	أونواتشو يسجل ركلة جزاء	طرابزون 2–1 قونية
نهاية المباراة	طرابزون سبور بطل كأس تركيا	2–1

الكأس العاشرة لطرابزون سبور

خاض طرابزون النهائي الثامن عشر في تاريخه بالبطولة، والثالث على التوالي، ورفع رصيده إلى عشرة ألقاب. ويجمع سجل هذه الليلة بين الرقم التاريخي للنادي والحسم الفردي لأونواتشو، بينما انتهى مشوار قونية في هذه النسخة عند مركز الوصيف.

واعتمد الاتحاد التركي نتائج الموسم رسميًا يوم 25 مايو 2026، وسجّل طرابزون سبور بطلًا لكأس تركيا. ويختلف هذا التاريخ عن يوم المباراة: التتويج حُسم على الملعب في 22 مايو، ثم تلاه اعتماد نتائج المسابقة بعد ثلاثة أيام.

وأصبح من الممكن الرجوع إلى موسم 2025–2026 عبر خاتمة واضحة: أنطاليا استضافت النهائي، وطرابزون فاز باللقب، وقونية أنهى البطولة وصيفًا. وتبقى مواعيد الأدوار السابقة جزءًا من تسلسل الموسم الذي انتهى بهذا اللقاء.

Final-date correction: The match was played on 22 May 2026. The 24 May date in the original post is not the date on which it took place. Trabzonspor beat Konyaspor 2–1 and were officially ratified as champions on 25 May.

​

Trabzonspor clinch the Turkish Cup in May 2026​

The 2025–2026 Turkish Cup season ended with Trabzonspor lifting the trophy after a 2–1 win over Konyaspor in the final at Corendon Airlines Park in Antalya on 22 May 2026. It concluded the competition’s 64th edition, turning the earlier round-by-round calendar into a completed results record.

​

Onuachu’s double makes the difference​

Paul Onuachu opened the scoring in the 18th minute. Jackson Muleka equalised for Konyaspor in the 50th. Enis Bardhi then missed a penalty in the 58th, before Onuachu returned to score the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 79th. The Trabzonspor striker was named Player of the Match after scoring both his team’s goals.

Key moments of the final
​

Minute or stage	Event	Score after the event
18	Onuachu scores for Trabzonspor	Trabzonspor 1–0 Konyaspor
50	Muleka scores for Konyaspor	1–1
58	Bardhi misses a Konyaspor penalty	1–1
79	Onuachu converts a penalty	Trabzonspor 2–1 Konyaspor
Full time	Trabzonspor win the Turkish Cup	2–1

​

Trabzonspor’s tenth cup​

Trabzonspor contested their 18th final in the competition and their third in succession, taking their total to ten titles. The evening combined a milestone in the club’s history with Onuachu’s decisive contribution, while Konyaspor finished as runners-up.

TFF officially ratified the season’s results on 25 May 2026 and recorded Trabzonspor as Turkish Cup champions. That date is distinct from match day: the title was won on the pitch on 22 May, with ratification following three days later.

The 2025–2026 season can therefore be revisited through a clear conclusion: Antalya hosted the final, Trabzonspor won the trophy and Konyaspor finished second. The dates of the preceding rounds remain part of the sequence of a season that ended with this match.
