The 2021 Copa Chile (officially known as Copa Chile Easy 2021 due to its sponsorship), was the 41st edition of the Copa Chile, the country's national football cup tournament. The tournament began on 15 June 2021 during the mid-season break due to the 2021 Copa América and ended on 4 September 2021, with the final match on neutral ground.^[1][2] Colo-Colo were able to defend the title won in the previous edition of the competition, winning their thirteenth Copa Chile after beating Everton in the final by a 2–0 score.

Format

The 2021 Copa Chile was based on a system of direct elimination with double-legged ties, similar to the Copa del Rey. In the first round, which was played with single-legged ties, clubs from the Primera B and Segunda División Profesional were paired against each other according to geographical criteria, where they played for 14 berths to the second round, in which the winners faced the Primera División clubs which joined the competition in that round. After the second round, and parallel to the Copa América, the round of 16 and the quarter-finals were played, with the semi-finals and final matches being played in late August and early September.^[1]

Prizes

The champions of this edition (or the runners-up, if the champions had already qualified) were entitled to earn the right to compete in the 2022 Copa Libertadores, taking the Chile 4 berth, and also earned the right to play the 2022 Supercopa de Chile against the 2021 Campeonato Nacional champions.
