Forfar Athletic season tickets are not valid for the home fixtures.

The group stages utilise the traditional three points for a win and one point for a draw model.   However all drawn matches will go straight to a penalty shoot-out whereby the winner of the penalty shoot-out will be awarded a bonus point as was the case for the ‘Loons’ in our opening tie against Dumbarton in the inaugural season of the competition in 2016.  The eight group winners and four best runners-up progress to the Second Round of fixtures where they will be joined by the four Scottish clubs that qualified for Europe this season and the competition reverts on August 8th/9th to the traditional knockout format.

Forfar athletic will be issuing a joint programme to cover both home ties and it will be on sale at the usual points within the ground prior to kick-off on the 22nd and 29th of July.
