Format

The format for the 2020 Copa Colombia will be the same one used for the 2018 edition, with the competition being played in a single-elimination format in its entirety, without any group stages. The 16 Categoría Primera B teams will enter the competition in the first stage, being drawn into eight ties. After two stages, four Primera B teams will qualify for the third stage, along with the twelve Categoría Primera A teams that did not enter international competition in the 2020 season, which will enter the cup at that stage. Finally, in the round of 16, the eight third stage winners will be joined by the four Copa Libertadores qualifiers (Junior, América de Cali, Deportes Tolima, and Independiente Medellín), as well as the four Copa Sudamericana qualifiers (Deportivo Cali, Atlético Nacional, Millonarios, and Deportivo Pasto), which will enter the competition at this point.[2]

Each tie in the final stages will be played in a home-and-away two-legged format. In each tie, the team with the better overall record up to that stage will host the second leg, except in the round of 16 where the third stage winners will host the second leg. The teams entering this stage will be the ones that qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores and 2020 Copa Sudamericana, which will be drawn into each of the eight ties. In case of a tie in aggregate score, neither the away goals rule nor extra time are applied, and the winner is decided by a penalty shoot-out.
