The 2025 Copa Colombia, officially the Copa BetPlay Dimayor 2025 for sponsorship reasons, is the 23rd edition of the Copa Colombia, the national cup competition for clubs affiliated to DIMAYOR, the governing body of professional club football in Colombia. The tournament, which is contested by 36 teams, began on 28 May and is scheduled to end on 12 November 2025. The winners will qualify for the 2026 Copa Sudamericana.[1]

Atlético Nacional are the defending champions.

Format

For this edition, the competition had a change in its format to allow the teams that fail to advance to the final stages of Dimayor's league tournaments to maintain competitive pace and reduce their mid-season downtime.[2] The first stage of the competition was split into Stage 1A and Stage 1B, with Stage 1A featuring the 12 Categoría Primera A and the 8 Categoría Primera B teams that failed to advance to the semi-finals of their league tournament, which were distributed into four groups of five teams (three Primera A teams and the remaining two from Primera B) according to their position in the first stage of the league. In each group, teams had one bye day and played two matches at home and two away, with the top two advancing to the round of 16. Subsequently, Stage 1B will be contested by the 16 teams that advanced to the semi-finals of the Primera A and Primera B tournaments, which were allocated into eight ties according to their position in the first stage of the league, with the eight winners advancing to the round of 16. The round of 16 will be played by the eight teams advancing from Stage 1A and the eight Stage 1B winners, in which the teams coming from Stage 1A will play the Stage 1B winners in eight two-legged ties. The winners will advance to the subsequent knockout stages of the competition (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals).[3] Unlike the previous editions, no draws will be performed for any phase of the competition.

Final stages

Each round in the final stages is played under a home-and-away two-legged format. The second leg in all rounds will be hosted by the team better placed in the league's aggregate table at the end of the Apertura tournament if both teams play in the same tier, or by the Primera B team if both teams play in different tiers. In case of a draw on aggregate score at the end of the second leg, extra time will not be played and the winner will be decided in a penalty shoot-out.[6]
