2021–22 Slovenian Football Cup

The 2021–22 Slovenian Football Cup was the 31st edition of the football knockout competition in Slovenia. The tournament began on 15 September 2021 and ended on 11 May 2022 with the final.[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia, the Intercommunal Regional Cup competitions were not held in the 2020–21 season; as a result, only all ten teams of the 2020–21 Slovenian PrvaLiga and the best two teams of the 2020–21 Slovenian Second League entered the competition.[2] Olimpija Ljubljana were the defending champions after winning the previous season's final.[3]
