The 2026/27 Schweizer Cup enters its second round with all eleven Super League participants still in the running, as srf.ch reported. SRF is broadcasting eleven matches live across three days from Friday to Sunday, providing full coverage of the 102nd campaign of the national knockout tournament.
The David-versus-Goliath Mismatches on the Schedule
The smallest club still standing in the competition is FC Winkeln SG. The East Swiss side usually competes in the regional 2. Liga and now faces a daunting test on Sunday afternoon against Lausanne-Sport from the Super League. Five divisions separate the two clubs in this heavily lopsided fixture, according to srf.ch.
Other fixtures offer significantly tighter competitive margins. The matchups between Aarau and FC Zürich, as well as Winterthur and Luzern, pit ambitious Challenge League outfits against top-flight opponents. These clubs are looking to pull off an upset rather than simply play the role of traditional underdogs.
