The 2026 Copa Chile, officially known as Copa Chile Coca-Cola Zero Azúcar 2026 for sponsorship purposes, is the 46th edition of the Copa Chile, the country's national football cup tournament. The tournament began on 30 January 2026.[1]
Huachipato are the defending champions.
Format
The Copa Chile will continue being played only by the 16 Liga de Primera and 16 Liga de Ascenso teams, leaving out teams from Segunda División Profesional and amateur sides and keeping the format used in its previous edition. In the group stage, the 32 participating teams were divided into eight groups of four according to geographical location, with each of the two geographical zones in which the competition has been split (North and South) being allocated four groups. The top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout stages (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final).[2][3]
Prizes
The Copa Chile champions, provided that they compete in the top flight in the 2027 season, will face the team placing third in the 2026 Liga de Primera in a play-off match for a berth into the Copa Libertadores second stage. The loser of that play-off match will be entitled to claim a Copa Sudamericana berth.[4] In addition to this, the champions will qualify to play the 2027 Supercopa de Chile.[5]

The schedule for the competition is as follows:[1]
