2025 Thai League Cup final

The 2025 Thai League Cup final is the culmination of the 2024–25 Thai League Cup, the 15th season of Thailand's knockout football competition in its second era. The final was played on 31 May 2025 at BG Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand. It featured Lamphun Warriors, a club based in Lamphun in Northern Thailand, and Buriram United, a powerhouse from Buriram in the lower Isan. Starting from the semi-finals, the Football Association of Thailand has appointed foreign referees and assistant referees to officiate the matches, including the final, to ensure the highest standards of fairness and professionalism in critical knockout fixtures.
This final marked a historic milestone for Lamphun Warriors, who reached the competition's final for the first time in their club's history. In contrast, Buriram United, one of Thailand's most successful clubs in the modern era, made their 11th appearance in a Thai League Cup final since the competition's re-establishment in 2010. The club had previously lifted the trophy seven times, including a shared title in 2016 when the final was canceled following the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, resulting in joint champions with Muangthong United.
In addition to domestic silverware, the winner of the final earned qualification for the 2025–26 ASEAN Club Championship, adding further regional significance to the contest. With both teams representing distinct regions and boasting passionate fan bases, the final was a compelling showcase of Thai football's growing stature in Southeast Asia.
