Format
The tournament consists of a total of six rounds.[1]
The following 52 teams compete in the first round:
- 28 (13 teams from DBU Bornholm, DBU Lolland-Falster, DBU København and DBU Sjælland (East Denmark) and 15 teams from DBU Fyn and DBU Jylland (West Denmark)) that qualified in their local preliminary rounds;
- 12 teams that competed in the spring play-offs in the last season of C-Liga;[a]
- 6 teams that competed in the spring B-Liga qualification in the previous season of B-Liga;
- 6 teams that competed in the spring qualification in the last season of A-Liga;
The 26 winners of the first round are joined by the six teams that competed in the championship round in the last season of Women's League for a total of 32 teams in the second round.
Each active competitor plays a single match in each round, except for semifinals, where two legs are played (home and away). The opponents in the matches are determined by a draw. Up until and including the third round, pools based on geographical location are used for the draw to alleviate economic burden on the clubs. In case any of the matches ends in a draw, two rounds of 15 minute extra time are played and if the scores are still even the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out.
