FTL Cup 2026

 

The FTL up returns in Game Week 4 and everyone in level 1 and level 2 is invited!

As usual there is an initial group stage so that everyone involved has at least 3 competition matches.

There are 45 groups of 4 each year and your team will play every other team in your group across three cup weeks which will take place in Game Week 2, Game Week 4 and Game Week 6.

The highest ranked 32 Group Winners will receive a bye to the 2nd knockout round and be seeded according to their FTL Cup ranking.

The remaining 13 group winners and 45 2nd placed teams will be entered into the 1st round draw.  They will be joined by 6 lucky losers which is decided by the 6 teams finishing 3rd or 4th in their group who accumulated the most FTL points across the 3 cup weeks.

This will give us a knockout draw of 64 teams in the 1st round which will provide us with 32 winners to join the 32 seeded teams in a 2nd Round of 64 teams.  Thereafter it will be a straight knockout with the full draw laid out as per a tennis draw.

Hope this all makes sense so without further ado, here are the groups for this year.  The first fixtures will features team 1 v team 2 in each group and team 3 v team 4.  These matches will take in place in Game Week 4.

The second set of matches taking place in Game Week 6 will pair of the two winners from the 1st set of matches against each other and the two losers.  

The remaining fixtures will take place in Game Week 8.

Group 1-9

Group 10-18

Group 19-27

Group 28-36

FTL2026 Main Sheet

 

The FTL2026 MainSheet is available for the upcoming season. 

 

The FTL2026 website lists a players points for an event, but doesn't breakdown how those points were awarded.  The mainsheet lists a players points for each match, and shows the ranking points that were rewarded for the event.

 

The FTL CUP is also unavailable on the FTL2025 website, so the mainsheet will be where you can find all of the information regarding every H2H matchup and the Round Robin results for the season.  Information regarding the FTL Cup will be coming out in the next week or 2

NEW MATCH POINT CALCULATION - DOWNLOADABLE!!!

Hard to imagine, but the start of the FTL2026 season is less than a week away!!

 

As everyone knows, the calculation of the Match Points for the season will be different.  Over the past couple of weeks, we've described in detail the rationale for this change and how these points will be calculated.  For some all of this detail is not only needed, but necessary as they want to understand every little detail about the change, and how a player will now be receiving points, for others, it just feels like they are in the midst of information overload.

 

Today, I'm going to simplify things a bit, and give everyone access to the Match Point Calculator itself.  As a result, you can input a matches results and give yourself an idea of exactly what the point total would be at any given moment (if a player is playing in a Bo5 match, just make sure that you use that format lol)
