The games of the 1/64 finals will begin on June 24, 34 teams from the second league and 22 teams from the first league will take part in them. From the 1/16 finals, 18 major league teams are included in the tournament. The games, starting from the 1/4 finals, will continue in the spring of 1986. The order of the draw for teams of the highest, first and second leagues is carried out in the order of the places occupied by the teams in the 1984 USSR Championship. Starting from the 1/32 finals, the venues for the games are determined by the difference in receptions and departures for the meeting teams. The team with more trips has an advantage. In case of equality of receptions and departures, the location of the next game is determined by lot. If the game, including the final one, ends in a draw, then extra time is assigned (two halves of 15 minutes each). If extra time does not reveal the strongest team, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks in accordance with FIFA Regulations. In competitions for the USSR Cup, no more than three players are allowed to be replaced during the game. The final is held in Moscow at the Central Stadium named after V.I. Lenin.
