# 2019 Copa Chile

The 2019 Copa Chile (officially known as Copa Chile MTS 2019 due to its sponsorship), was the 40th edition of the Copa Chile, the country's national football cup tournament. Palestino were the defending champions, but were knocked out of the competition by Santiago Morning in the second round. Colo-Colo were the champions, defeating Universidad de Chile 2–1 in the final.

## Format

The 2019 Copa Chile was based on a system of direct elimination with double-legged ties, similar to the Copa del Rey. Clubs that were members of the Segunda División Profesional and ANFA were included in the competition, same as the previous edition, and played against the Primera B clubs for 16 berths to the second round, where the winners faced the 16 Primera División clubs which joined the competition in that round.

## 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 2020 Copa Libertadores, taking the Chile 4 berth, and also earned the right to play the 2020 Supercopa de Chile against the 2019 Campeonato Nacional champions.
