Format
For this edition, the competition had a change in its format to allow the teams that failed to advance to the final stages of Dimayor's league tournaments to maintain competitive pace and reduce their mid-season downtime.[3] 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 did not 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 was 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 was played by the eight teams advancing from Stage 1A and the eight Stage 1B winners, in which the teams coming from Stage 1A played the Stage 1B winners in eight two-legged ties. The winners advanced to the subsequent knockout stages of the competition (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals).[4] Unlike the previous editions, no draws were performed for any phase of the competition.
