The 2023 Copa Chile (officially known as Copa Chile Easy 2023 due to its sponsorship), is the 43rd edition of the Copa Chile, the country's national football cup tournament. The tournament began on 8 March and will end with the final on neutral ground on 20 December 2023.
Magallanes are the defending champions.
Format
The 2023 Copa Chile is based on a system of direct elimination with double-legged ties, similar to the Copa del Rey. For this edition the competition had a format change, with clubs affiliated to ANFA (those from Tercera A, Tercera B and regional amateur leagues) being drawn into 13 ties in a first round, with the winners advancing to the newly-implemented regional stage where teams from Primera División, Primera B, and Segunda División Profesional entered the competition. In the regional stage, the 64 participating teams were split into four geographical zones, in which they were drawn against a rival from their same zone. In each zone, four rounds were played: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the finals; the former three stages were played as single-legged ties, whilst the latter one will be a double-legged series. The four regional winners will then advance to the national stage, where they will play two semi-finals with their winners playing the final to decide the champion.
Prizes
The champions of this edition will be entitled to earn the right to compete in the 2024 Copa Libertadores taking the Chile 4 berth, provided they play in the Chilean Primera División in the 2024 season. In case they do not meet this requirement, they will be awarded a monetary prize and the Copa Libertadores berth will be passed to the Copa Chile runners-up, provided they also meet the aforementioned condition. If the champions and/or runners-up do not meet said requirement or have already qualified for the Copa Libertadores through league performance, the berth will be reallocated to the 2023 Campeonato Nacional best team not yet qualified for the competition.
The champions will also earn the right to play the 2024 Supercopa de Chile against the 2023 Campeonato Nacional champions, regardless of the tier they play in.
