On 3 February 2021, the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) confirmed that the competition was suspended and rescheduled to the second semester of the year due to an outbreak of COVID-19 in one of the involved teams, with the new dates to be confirmed.

The four teams would play in two single-legged semi-finals, with the winners playing in the final and the losers playing for third place. In addition to Barcelona and LDU Quito as the most recent Serie A and Supercopa Ecuador champions, respectively, Independiente del Valle and Emelec were also invited to play this edition of the competition on account of their recent achievements: the former by winning the 2019 Copa Sudamericana and the latter by being the last team to win the Serie A three times in a row, from 2013 to 2015.

On 5 June 2021, after the new dates for the competition became known, an additional format change was confirmed with the competition expanding to six teams, starting with a four-team preliminary round and with the remaining two teams receiving byes to the semi-finals. [3]
Originally Barcelona were invited to participate as the 2020 Ecuadorian Serie A champions, however, on 20 January 2021 the club declined its participation in the competition to avoid a potential conflict with one of its sponsors. [7] On 22 January 2021, the Ecuadorian Football Federation confirmed that 2020 Ecuadorian Serie B champions 9 de Octubre would take Barcelona's place in the competition.
