In late July 2026 the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) staged a series of draw ceremonies to set the calendar for the 2026‑27 season. On 31 July the federation held live‑streamed draws at the Aegean Hall of the Athens Marriott for the Superbet Greek Cup, the Amateur Cup and the Third National Category, broadcasting the events on the Hellenic Football Family YouTube channel. The Amateur Cup draw took place at 10:00, the Superbet Cup draw at 11:30, and the Third National Category draw at 13:00.

The Superbet Cup draw detailed the first‑ and second‑round qualifying match‑ups. Fourteen teams entered the first round – the thirteen Super League 2 clubs for 2026‑27 plus Amateur‑Cup holder AO Trikala – producing a single pairing slated for 11 August 2026; the other twelve clubs received a bye to the second round. The second round will involve 22 teams – the first‑round winner, the twelve bye‑recipients and nine Super League clubs not in European competition – forming eleven single‑leg knockout ties scheduled for 17‑19 August 2026. Winners will join the five Greek clubs competing in European tournaments for the league phase. All matches are decided on the day, with penalties if level after 90 minutes and no extra time. Guests Nikos Badimas and Thanasios Stako attended the draws.
