KPL Top 8 Cup


The KPL Top 8 Cup is a Kenyan football championship contested by the top eight teams of the preceding Kenyan Premier League season. The inaugural edition of the tournament took place in 2011, with Ulinzi Stars as the winners.

Format

The tournament is played in both a single-elimination and double-elimination format. It begins with the quarter-finals, where teams play against each other once. In the semi-finals, teams play each other in two matches and the team with more goals on aggregate advances to the final, which is played once. No third place playoff is played.
The winners of the tournament receive a total sum of Ksh. 1,000,000 as prize money, although appeals to the Football Kenya Federation have been made to increase the sum as gate collections in the tournament surpass the prize money amount.
