Until the 2017–2018 season, the tournament was held in the autumn-spring schedule from July to September of the following year. The introduction of this new format of the contest meant that the League Cup was suspended.
The winner of the Finnish Cup qualifies for the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League.{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/|title=uefa europa league|website=UEFA|access-date=2019-04-14}}
