The 1965–66 Greek Football Cup was the 24th edition of the Greek Football Cup. This was the second consecutive cup Final that was scratched. AEK Athens were awarded[1] the Cup as the HFF was late to determine a date for the match; since Olympiacos had to prepare for the next season's European Cup, this delay meant Olympiacos would not be able to participate in the Final.

Knockout phase[]
In the knockout phase, teams play against each other over a single match. If the match ends up as a draw, extra time will be played. If a winner doesn't occur after the extra time the winner emerges by a flip of a coin.
The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
- In the draw for the round of 32, the teams that had qualified to previous' season Round of 16 are seeded and the clubs that passed the qualification round are unseeded.
- In the draws for the round of 16 onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.
