The 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional (officially the Copa Binance 2023 for sponsorship reasons)[1] will be the fourth edition of the Copa de la Liga Profesional, an Argentine domestic cup. It will begin on 20 August and will end on 16 December 2023.[2]

The competition will be contested by 28 teams, twenty-six returning from the 2022 season as well as two promoted teams from the 2022 Primera Nacional (Belgrano and Instituto).[3] Boca Juniors are the defending champions.

Format

For the group stage, the 28 teams were drawn into two groups of fourteen teams each, playing on a single round-robin basis. Additionally, each team will play one interzonal match against its rival team in the other zone. In each group, the top four teams will advance to the quarter-finals. The final stages (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) will be played on a single-legged basis.

Draw

The draw for the group stage was held on 3 November 2022, 13:00, at AFA Futsal Stadium in Ezeiza.[4] The 28 teams were drawn into two groups of fourteen containing one team from each of the interzonal matches. As the draw was held before the identity of the second promoted team was known, the interzonal rivals of Godoy Cruz and Barracas Central were called Alternativa 1 and Alternativa 2, respectively. They were:
