The 2015–16 Bulgarian Cup was the 34th official edition of the Bulgarian annual football knockout tournament. The competition began on 23 September 2015 with the matches of the First Round and finished with the final on 24 May 2016. Cherno More Varna were the defending champions.

For the first time in the history of this competition the winner, CSKA Sofia, came from the third division of Bulgarian football. However as the club was excluded from participating in the 2016–17 European competitions by the UEFA Club Financial Control Body.,[1] its place was taken up by the runners-up of the 2015–16 A Group, Levski Sofia, who is entitled to participate in the second qualifying round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League.

Semi-finals

[edit]

The draw was to be conducted on 15 December 2015.[7] The draw was postponed because of the expulsion of Litex Lovech from the A PFG after the team was ordered off the pitch in a controversial league match against Levski Sofia.[8] At the time it was not clear how this would affect Litex's continued participation in this edition of the Bulgarian Cup. A new date for the draw was scheduled for the 16th of February 2016.[9] The first legs were played on 6 April and the second legs were played on 20 and 21 April 2016.
