Cup competitions
Knockout football in 2026 is split between two seasons. The 2025–26 Estonian Cup (Tipneri karikas) resumes in the spring with the quarter-final stage, culminating in the final in May. Simultaneously, the 2026–27 edition of the tournament is set to begin in the summer with preliminary rounds. The season's first silverware is contested in the Estonian Supercup, traditionally held in early March as the curtain-raiser for the league season.
