The 1935–36 Swiss Cup was the 11th edition of Switzerland's football cup competition, organised annually since the 1925–26 season by the Swiss Football Association.

Overview

This season's cup competition began with three preliminary rounds. These were played during the last few week-ends of August 1935. The first principal round was played at the beginning of October. The competition was to be completed on Easter Monday, 13 April 1936, with the final, which this year was held at the Förrlibuck in Zürich.

The preliminary rounds were held for the lower league teams that were not qualified for the main rounds. Reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The 14 clubs from the 1935–36 Nationalliga and the 24 clubs from this season's 1. Liga joined the competition in the first principal round, which was played on Sunday 6 October.

The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, if agreed between the clubs, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch. If the replay ended in a draw after extra time, it would require another replay. However, if a replay had not been agreed, a toss of a coin would establish the team that qualified for the next round.[1]

Preliminary rounds

The lower league teams that had not qualified for the competition, competed here in three preliminary knockout rounds. Reserve teams were not admitted to the competition. The aim of this preliminary stage was to reduce the number of lower league teams to 26 before the first main round. The draw respected local regionalities. The preliminary rounds were played during August, a few in September, but all in advance of the lower leagues regional season.
