The 2025–26 Women's CEV Cup is the 54th edition of the European CEV Cup volleyball club tournament organised by the European Volleyball Confederation.

Format

The CEV Cup is played in a knockout format. Each team plays a home and an away match with result points awarded for each leg (3 points for 3–0 or 3–1 wins, 2 points for 3–2 win, 1 point for 2–3 loss). After two legs, the team with the most result points advances to the next round. In case the teams are tied after two legs, a Golden Set is played immediately at the completion of the second leg. The Golden Set winner is the team that first obtains 15 points, provided that the points difference between the two teams is at least 2 points (thus, the Golden Set is similar to a tiebreak set in a regular match).[1]

Main phase (Home and away matches):[2]

  • 16th finals → 8th finals → Playoffs → Quarterfinals

Final phase (Home and away matches):[3]

  • Semifinals → Finals
