Format
The format for the 2023 Copa Colombia featured changes in the entry points of the teams in each phase with respect to previous editions, while keeping its double-legged, single-elimination format. The first stage was contested by the eight lowest placed teams in the aggregate tables of both the 2022 Primera A and 2022 Primera B tournaments, with the Primera B teams drawn against a Primera A side in eight ties. The first stage winners then faced the remaining Primera B teams in the second round of the competition, with the eight winners advancing to the third stage where they were drawn against each other. The four third stage winners qualified for the round of 16, where they were joined by the remaining 12 Primera A teams which entered the competition at that point. In another departure from previous editions, the order of legs was drawn for each phase of competition, except for the second stage in which the first stage winners played the second leg at home.
