The 2008–09 United States Open Cup for Arena Soccer was the first open knockout style tournament for Arena/Indoor Soccer. In its inaugural season, the St. Louis Illusion were cup winners, due to their victory over the Detroit Waza and the inability to field a team for the final due to the late finish of the competition.
† Due to the withdrawal of the Semifinal Winning Stockton Cougars before April 18, what was originally supposed to be a Semifinal Match between the St. Louis Illusion and Detroit Waza became the Championship Match.
