The 2025 Copa Uruguay (officially known as Copa AUF Uruguay 2025), is the fourth edition of the Copa Uruguay, the country's national football cup tournament. The tournament is being played from 5 August to 29 October 2025 with 32 teams participating.^[1] For the first time since its inception, the competition will grant an international berth to its winner, which will qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores.^[2]

Format

The competition retained the format used in its previous edition, with 32 teams participating: 10 teams from the Uruguayan Primera División, 6 from Segunda División, 4 from Primera División Amateur, 2 from Divisional D and 10 clubs from the Copa Nacional de Clubes organized by the Organización del Fútbol del Interior (OFI). The 32 clubs will play a straight knockout competition, with the amateur clubs from the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) and OFI being drawn against the 16 AUF professional clubs in the 16 ties for the first round, with the matches in this round to be hosted by the amateur teams. Ties in the subsequent rounds of the competition (round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final) will also be played over a single leg, with the semi-finals and the final played on neutral ground.^[3]

The winners of the competition will qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores under the Uruguay 4 berth, granting them access to the first stage of the continental competition, provided that they play in Primera División in 2026.^[2]

Qualified teams

32 clubs took part in this season's Copa Uruguay competition: 10 from Primera División, 6 from Segunda División, and 4 from Primera División Amateur, which were the top clubs in their respective leagues based on their performance at halfway point, considering the aggregate table of each division. In the case of the Divisional D, the two participating clubs were the top clubs that failed to promote in the previous season, given that the 2025 edition of the fourth tier tournament had not started at the moment the Primera División's Torneo Intermedio ended, whilst for the Copa Nacional de Clubes organized by the Organización del Fútbol del Interior (OFI), the eight clubs that qualified for the quarter-finals of 2025 Divisional A tournament as well as two play-off winners were the ones that qualified.^[6]
