The 2025 Emperor's Cup or the JFA 105th Japan Football Championship (Japanese: 天皇杯 JFA 第105回全日本サッカー選手権大会) is the 105th edition of the annually known contested cup.^[1] It features 88 teams representing the prefectural football associations, university football federation, J1 League and the J2 League.

Due to the participation of Urawa Red Diamonds in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, they were given automatic qualification to the Round of 16 of the Emperor's Cup, as the Club World Cup takes place between June and July, just when the rest of the J1 League teams are participating in the second and third round of the Emperor's Cup.^[4]

In total, there are 47 prefectural cup qualifications, with the winners of each prefectural cup earning their right to play in the Emperor's Cup, with all of them assigned to start the competition in the first round.^[6]
