The tournament rounds will be played in knockout system. The first three-round and the final will consist one-leg (in the first three-round lower ranked team or if the teams are equalled first-drawn team plays home). In the rounds 4 to 6, each tie is played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home.
In the first round professional teams (from 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság II) cannot be paired with each other. In the second and third round any remaining teams from 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I cannot be paired with each other.
Tie-breaker criteria
In the first three rounds and the final the team that scores more goals advances to the next round (in the final the team wins the cup). If the score is level, then thirty minutes of extra time is played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. If the score is level again after extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.
In the round 4 to 6 the team that scores more goals on aggregate over the two legs advances to the next round. If the aggregate score is level, the away goals rule is applied, i.e., the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs advances. If away goals are also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time is played, divided into two fifteen-minutes halves. The away goals rule is again applied after extra time, i.e., if there are goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score is still level, the visiting team advances by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals are scored during extra time, the tie is decided by penalty shoot-out.[3]
The draw for the first round was held on 21 July 2015. In this round no professional clubs could play against each other, therefore every team from 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 2015–16 Nemzeti Bajnokság II played with lower ranked teams. Originally 116 teams could compete, but five teams withdrew, therefore Inter CDF, Somos, Andráshida SC, Géderlaki KSE and Balatonfüred are bye to next round.[2]
