Premier Sports Cup group stage opponents drawn

The draw for the group stage of the Premier Sports Cup was made a little after 1pm this afternoon on Wednesday, May 27.

Kilmarnock Football Club have been drawn in Group H of the tournament, which will get underway on the weekend of July 11/12.

We have been drawn alongside Raith Rovers, Peterhead, Hamilton Accies and Elgin City as we commence the 2026/27 campaign ahead of the Scottish Premiership season in early August.

We commence our group campaign with a home match against Raith on Tuesday 14, with a 7.45pm kick-off. This is followed by the long trip to Elgin on Saturday 18. Kick-off at 3pm. Our second home match is on Tuesday 21 against Hamilton. Again, this midweek tie will kick-off at 7.45pm. The final match away to Peterhead will be played on Saturday 25 with a 3pm start.

We will update supporters on ticket information in due course. Progress is being made on pitch renovations at BBSP Stadium Rugby Park.

The format remains unchanged, with 40 clubs participating across five matchdays in the group stage. The five clubs taking part in UEFA competitions next season will join the eight group winners and three best runners-up in the last 16.
