The 2022 Copa Colombia, officially the Copa BetPlay Dimayor 2022 for sponsorship reasons, was the 20th edition of the Copa Colombia, the national cup competition for clubs affiliated to DIMAYOR, the governing body of professional club football in Colombia. The tournament, which was contested by 35 teams, began on 9 February 2022 and ended on 2 November 2022.
Millonarios won their third title in the competition, after beating Junior in the double-legged final by a 2–1 aggregate score.[1] As Copa Colombia champions, Millonarios qualified for the 2023 Copa Libertadores. Atlético Nacional were the defending champions, having won the competition in the previous edition, but were knocked out by Junior in the quarter-finals.
The format for the 2022 Copa Colombia was similar to the one used in the previous two editions, with the competition being played in a double-legged, single-elimination format in its entirety, without any group stages. Fourteen out of the 15 Categoría Primera B teams entered the competition in the first stage and were drawn into seven ties, except for Boyacá Chicó who received a bye to the second stage for being the best-placed team in the aggregate table of the 2021–II Primera B tournament.[2] After two stages, four Primera B teams qualified for the third stage, along with the 12 Categoría Primera A teams that failed to qualify for international competition, which entered the cup at that stage. Finally, in the round of 16, the eight third stage winners were joined by the four Copa Libertadores qualifiers (Deportes Tolima, Deportivo Cali, Millonarios, and Atlético Nacional) and the four Copa Sudamericana qualifiers (Junior, América de Cali, La Equidad, and Independiente Medellín), which entered the competition at this point.[3]
The schedule of the competition was as follows:[4]

In case of a tie, extra time was not played and the winner was decided in a penalty shoot-out.
