The 2026 Liga Nusantara final was the final match of the 2025–26 Liga Nusantara, the second season of the Liga Nusantara under its current name and the 10th season under its current league structure.[1] This match saw RANS Nusantara facing off against Dejan and was held at the Sriwedari Stadium in Surakarta, Central Java on 8 February 2026.[2]

RANS Nusantara won their first ever Liga Nusantara title, as well as their first Indonesian 3rd-tier league title after defeating Dejan in the penalty shoot-out.

Background

Since the establishment of Liga 3 as the third-tier league, RANS Nusantara has never reached the final. Their last third-tier final was the 2014 First Division, back when the club was still named Cilegon United. In the match, they clinched a 3–0 victory on penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 tie in normal time against Persibat.[3]
