Notes
- ↑ Hebar plays their first round home match at Stadion Balgarska Armia, Sofia, instead of their regular stadium Stadion Georgi Benkovski in Pazardzhik, which was not in optimal condition to host a football match.[9]
- ↑ Montana plays their quarterfinal home match at Huvepharma Arena, Razgrad, instead of their regular stadium Stadion Ogosta in Montana, which was undergoing renovation works.[15]
- ↑ Septemvri Sofia will host the match at Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov, Sofia, instead of their own home venue Stadion DIT, Sofia, as it does not meet BFU's requirements for this stage of the tournament.[16] Initially Septemvri intended to host the match at Arena Tsarsko Selo, Sofia, but the BFU declined their application due to the small capacity of the stadium.[17]
