QUEEN’S PARK FC qualified beyond the group stages of the Premier Sports Cup for the first time last season.
It kicked off a memorable season in all three Cup competitions for the Club.
So all eyes at The city Stadium will be on this afternoon’s group stage draw for the 2025-26 competition.
The draw will be shown live on Premier Sports 1 at 1pm and can also be followed on the Premier Sports YouTube channel and their X/Twitter page.
In addition, the draw will be broadcast live on the SPFL YouTube channel, below.
As with last season, when we kicked off our competition in Peterhead, there is no regionalisation this term, but the draw is separated into five pots.
Sean Crighton’s side are in Pot 2 following last season’s eighth-placed finish eighth in the William Hill Championship.
Last season’s competition saw record prize money on offer and that has been matched for the 2025/26 edition. Clubs are guaranteed a minimum of £30,000. Reaching the last 16 – when Scotland’s five European competition entrants join the competition – is worth at least £60,000 while the cup winners will receive £400,000.
