# 2022–23 Bahrain FA Cup

The 2022–23 Bahraini FA Cup or more commonly known locally as the BFA Cup is the 17th edition of this Association football tournament. Al-Muharraq are going into the competition as defending champions.
This edition will feature four groups of 6 teams with the top team of each group advancing to the semi-final stage. Each group sees the teams play each other once. Games are generally played during international breaks and feature all teams from the top two tiers of Bahraini football.
The competition is, in theory, used to blood new up and coming talent but has had its fair share of disciplinary incidents including a result awarded due to the ineligibility of players used.
