Partick Thistle's Wyre Stadium at Firhill will host the KDM Evolution Trophy final between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Raith Rovers on Sunday, 5 April. The match kicks off at 16:10 BST and will be broadcast live on BBC Alba, marking the inaugural final under the competition's new Champions League-style format.

Both finalists are chasing their fourth Challenge Cup title, though this represents the first final under the revamped structure. Inverness Caledonian Thistle dominated the league phase with a perfect 100% record before eliminating Dumbarton 9-0 and defeating Stenhousemuir, Partick Thistle, and Ayr United away from home. Raith Rovers, now managed by Dougie Imrie, are appearing in their third final in five seasons after knocking out Hamilton Academical, Queen of the South, Queen's Park, and Airdrieonians.

This season's competition will distribute an estimated £1.25 million in prize money across participating clubs, a 50% increase from last season. The winners will receive £150,000 while runners-up collect £100,000. The match promises to be a closely contested affair as both teams compete to become the first holders of the impressive new trophy.
