Description
The Copa de la Liga (officially Copa de la Liga AUF) is a knockout football competition in men's domestic Uruguayan football, starting in 2026.
Its creation was announced on 24 December 2025, and the tournament is played from 11 to 25 January 2026, prior to the start of the 2026 Liga AUF Uruguaya.
For its first edition in 2026, The competition is played under a single-elimination format, with the 16 participating teams being seeded for the first round according to their placement in the aggregate table of the previous Liga AUF Uruguaya season, and the promoted teams (Albion, Central Español, and Deportivo Maldonado) being the three lowest seeds, ordered according to their placement in the 2025 Segunda División. All rounds of the competition (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final) are played over a single match on neutral ground, with the winner being decided in a penalty shootout if matches end tied after 90 minutes.
If the teams that qualified for the Supercopa Uruguaya also reach the final of this competition, both the Supercopa and the Copa de la Liga AUF will be awarded in the former competition.
The winner of the competition is also awarded US$100,000, to be exclusively spent on infrastructure projects.
