Feyenoord are the current holders.
Qualification
[edit]From this season, the KNVB will raise the amateur teams that participate in the Cup from 50 to 68, to keep up with the raising level of play of the amateurs. Therefore, the qualification format needed to be adjusted, and will be as follows: (reserve teams are excluded) [1] If an amateur team qualifies in more than one way (like reaching the semi-finals of their district cup and being in the Topklasse), the best losing quarter-finalist will qualify instead.

- Notes
- ^ These teams are playing in the 2015–16 Hoofdklasse and so still have a chance to qualify for the Cup in another way.
- ^ These teams already qualified for the Cup in another way and will be replaced.
- ^ WKE won the first period title of the Sunday Topklasse, but went bankrupt at 3 March 2016. They are expelled from the league and their period title (and by that their qualification spot for the Cup) will be taken by the highest team of the Sunday Topklasse who are not league or period champions at the end of the season.
- ^ Flevo Boys had to play WKE in the quarter-finals of the North District Cup, but because WKE went bankrupt, Flevo Boys received a bye to the semi-finals.
