Tirana won the title for the 16th time, becoming the most successful club in cup's history.
Ties are played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions.
If the aggregate score is tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advances.
If the number of away goals is equal in both games, the match is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out, if necessary.
In order to reduce the number of participating teams for the first round to 32, a preliminary tournament is played.
