The 2015–16 Magyar Kupa (English: Hungarian Cup) is the 76th season of Hungary's annual knock-out cup football competition. It started with the first match of the first round on 5 August 2015 and will end with the final held on 14 May 2016 at Groupama Aréna, Budapest.[1] Ferencváros are the defending champions, having won their 21st cup competition last season. The winner of the competition will qualify for the first qualifying round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League. Teams which are involved in 2015–16 UEFA Champions League (Videoton) and 2015–16 UEFA Europa League (Ferencváros, MTK and Debrecen) joined only in the third round.[2]

Format

The tournament rounds will be played in knockout system. The first three round and the final will consist one-leg (in the first three round lower ranked team or if the teams are equalled first-drawn team plays home). In the rounds 4 to 6, each tie is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home.
In the first round professional teams (from 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság II) cannot be paired with each other. In the second and third round any remaining teams from 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I cannot be paired with each other.

Tie-breaker criterias

In the first three rounds and the final the team that scores more goals advances to the next round (in the final the team wins the cup). If the score is level, then thirty minutes of extra time is played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. If the score is level again after extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.
In the round 4 to 6 the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time is played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.[3]

First Round

Matches were played on 5, 9, 11, 12 and 13 August 2015[4] and involved the teams qualified through the local cup competitions during the previous season, Nemzeti Bajnokság III, Nemzeti Bajnokság II and the Nemzeti Bajnokság I teams.

Draw

The draw for the first round was held on 21 July 2015.

Originally 116 teams could compete, but five teams withdrew, therefore Inter CDF, Somos SE, Andráshida, Géderlaki KSE and Balatonfüred are bye to next round.[2]
