Vissel Kobe are the defending champions, winning the 2024 final by 1–0 against Gamba Osaka, just before becoming 2025 J1 League champions, winning the domestic double. They join the competition along other J1 and J2 League teams in the second round.
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.
