The Malaysian Football League (MFL) has officially confirmed that the Bukit Jalil National Stadium will host the 2025-2026 Malaysia Cup final on May 23, 2026. This decision ensures that the country's most prestigious footballing event takes place at its traditional home before the stadium undergoes planned upgrades for the 2027 SEA Games. Fans are expected to turn out in massive numbers for what is anticipated to be a high stakes conclusion to the domestic season.

This announcement comes as the competition enters its final stages, with the semi finalists currently battling for a spot in the showpiece event. Defending champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) hold a commanding four goal lead in their tie, while the other bracket remains tightly contested between Selangor FC and Kuching City FC. The winner of these two legged affairs will earn the right to step onto the hallowed turf of Bukit Jalil next month.

The MFL's confirmation provides much needed clarity for the clubs and supporters planning their travel for the final. Beyond the trophy itself, the match serves as a major logistical test for the venue before it briefly closes its doors to the public for renovation. All eyes are now on the second leg semi final fixtures on April 18 to see which two teams will eventually fight for glory in the national capital.
