The 2026 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was the 111th edition of the U.S. Open Cup, the knockout domestic cup competition of American soccer, organized by the United States Soccer Federation. It involved 80 teams, including 48 from all three professional tiers of the United States soccer league system, and 32 in the "Open Division". The competition began on March 17 and culminated in the final on October 21. ^[1]

The full format was announced on January 27, 2025. U.S. Soccer changed several elements of the contest, altering the qualifying requirements to ensure the highest-level professional team enters the tournament, as well as removing the National League qualifying track. Participation was limited to teams that played a league season in 2025. It was reduced in size due to World Cup being partially hosted in the United States during the summer, with only 16 teams from each division plus 32 open division teams eligible to participate, effectively eliminating a round. ^[1] Prize money included $600,000 for winning the competition, $250,000 for the runner-up, and $50,000 bonus for lower-ranked teams advancing the furthest in the competition from their respective divisions. ^[2]

From Major League Soccer in Division 1, only teams that did not qualify for either the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup or 2026 Leagues Cup were eligible to take part. ^[3] All eligible MLS teams entered in the round of 32 (third round). Based on Supporter's Shield standings, one half of the MLS entrants hosted their first matches, while the rest began with an away game. For Division 2, the USL Championship sent 17 of its teams, being granted an additional spot due to there only being 15 eligible division 3 teams. This included all teams entered in the 2025 USL Championship Playoffs plus the next team outside of playoff consideration. From Division 3, USL League One sent their 13 eligible teams, while only the two independent MLS Next Pro teams were eligible to appear in the competition (Carolina Core FC and Chattanooga FC). Championship, League One, and Next Pro, along with the 32 Open Division teams, entered in the first round. ^[1]

Defending champions Nashville SC did not participate in the tournament due to the club's participation in the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup. ^[4]
