2026 Australia Cup final rounds thread

Football Australia should be ashamed for its failure to release national stage match schedule on Australia Cup website as this pic was taken from Brisbane Football Review podcast lads to post proposed round of 32 dates they sent to me two days ago via DM's on X.

Maybe it's a bit like the AFL letting a few scraps of information get leaked unofficially just to draw out the attention they can get.

Some good matchups in there, could be a few cupsets. Maybe South Melbourne over a rotated CCM side, and/or perhaps Heidelberg United will beat a rotated Brisbane Roar side. Sydney United vs FK Beograd will be nuts even though the former will win comfortably. As for Sydney FC, I’d say we’ll play the kids against Lions FC.

Just a random thought, if Azzurri United win, will they be the first NT team to win a round of 32 match? I know NT teams are pretty shit so I don’t think they’ll beat Maitland FC but I just can’t ever remember a team from the Territory going far at all in the Australia Cup.

Thats only the list of teams, not the draw.

Draw is tomorrow night

I will stand up and admit I took Beretta's list to be matchups too.

I did exactly the same last year too - being amazed that none of the aleague clubs had been drawn against each other.

Maybe next year I will get it right...

The order of the teams makes it look exactly like they're matchups.
 
Fingers crossed that the 3 SA sides get good draws tonight, I had near heart palpations thinking that schedule was the actual draw the other day lol
