The 2022 Copa Paraguay was the fourth edition of the Copa Paraguay, Paraguay's domestic football cup competition organized by the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). The competition began on 10 May and ended on 10 November 2022, with the winners qualifying for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana as well as the 2022 Supercopa Paraguay against the Primera División champions with better record in the aggregate table.

Format

On 22 April 2022, the APF confirmed the expansion of the tournament to 74 teams with the inclusion of three preliminary rounds involving clubs from the Football Union of the Interior (UFI), Primera C, Primera B, División Intermedia and Primera División.^[2]

For the first stage, the 17 UFI teams were paired according to their geographical location into seven single-legged ties and a triangular group with the remaining three teams, with the winners of the seven ties and the top two teams of the triangular advancing to the next round. The 17 Primera B clubs were drawn in a similar arrangement to the UFI zone except that the ties were decided by a draw, while the 12 Primera C clubs were drawn into six single-legged ties. Nine Primera B teams, six Primera C ones, and nine UFI ones advanced to the next round, where they were joined by the 16 División Intermedia clubs. The 40 clubs competing in the second stage were drawn into 20 single-legged ties, with the winners advancing to the third stage where they were drawn against the 12 Primera División clubs. The 16 third stage winners advanced to the round of 16.^[3] Ties in all subsequent rounds were played on a single-legged basis, with a penalty shootout deciding the winner in case of a draw.
