The 2021 Copa Bicentenario was the 2nd edition of the Copa Bicentenario, the national cup competition of Peru, with the participation of the 18 teams of the Liga 1, and 12 teams of the Liga 2. ^[1] The champions qualified for the 2022 Copa Sudamericana, as well as the Supercopa Peruana against the Liga 1 champions. Atlético Grau were the defending champions.

Sporting Cristal were the winners of the competition, beating Carlos A. Mannucci in the final by a 2–1 score to claim their first Copa Bicentenario title.

Format

Unlike the previous edition, this year's edition featured a single elimination knockout stage, rather than the group stage. Each team is seeded in the first round, where each team plays one legged games and the winner advances to the final rounds. The final rounds feature a Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. Like the previous round, each match is played in one leg. 2019 Liga 1 champions, Sporting Cristal received a bye to the final rounds. The final is played on a neutral ground in one match.
