Along with the 20 winners from the second round and 2013 finalists A.F.C. Leopards and Gor Mahia, 10 seeded teams will begin their campaigns at this stage. The third round ties are to be played from 18–20 July and 23 August. Intercity, one of the seeded teams, was the only remaining Provincial League team in the tournament. Two more of the seeded teams, Ulinzi Warriors and Wazito, along with Mumbi Nationale and Nyakach United, were the only remaining FKF Division One teams competing for the title. National Super League side Finlays Horticulture became the fourth team to give a walkover in the tournament, but the first to do so after failing to turn up for their match. Explaining why they could not face Bandari in their third round clash, head coach Sammy Okoth said that the team had lost eight players during the mid-season (June-July) transfer window, and as such the squad was depleted and not yet ready to take on such an intense match. "Finlays Horticulture failed to show up for the match. Bandari advance to the fourth round." The fourth round ties were played from 30 August to 7 September. Intercity remained the only Provincial League side competing for the title, while of the four FKF Division One teams remaining in the third round, only Wazito advanced to the fourth round. Seven of the initial 24 National Super League entrants and seven of the initial 16 Premier League teams also competed in the fourth round. The quarter-final ties were played on the weekend of 27–28 September. Four teams from both the Premier League and the National Super League competed in this stage of the competition. The semi-final matches were played on 20 October. Two teams from both the Premier League and the National Super League competed at this stage of the competition. The match between A.F.C. Leopards and Sofapaka was abandoned in the 87th minute, moments after the latter's second goal through Ekaliana Ndolo, after fans stormed the pitch in protest of the officiating. Security personnel present at the Nairobi City Stadium where the match was taking place were forced to launch tear gas canisters onto the angry mob, while one linesman left with his head badly injured. An ambulance and a SuperSport van were also damaged after being stoned by the fans. Before the match's abandonment, other incidences of crowd trouble arose from the "Ingwe" fans. Spectators began throwing bottles and stones deep into the first half, after Austin Ikenna was flagged offside just four minutes before Enock Agwanda's opening goal in the 26th minute, forcing a stoppage of about three minutes to restore calm in the stadium.
