The 2023 Copa Chile (officially known as Copa Chile Easy 2023 due to its sponsorship), was the 43rd edition of the Copa Chile, the country's national football cup tournament. The tournament began on 8 March and ended with the final on neutral ground on 13 December 2023.^[1][2]

Colo-Colo were the champions, winning their fourteenth Copa Chile title by beating the defending champions Magallanes in the final by a 3–1 score.^[3]

The 2023 Copa Chile is based on a system of direct elimination with double-legged ties, similar to the Copa del Rey. For this edition the competition had a format change, with clubs affiliated to ANFA (those from Tercera A, Tercera B and regional amateur leagues) being drawn into 13 ties in a first round, with the winners advancing to the newly implemented regional stage where teams from Primera División, Primera B, and Segunda División Profesional entered the competition. In the regional stage, the 64 participating teams were split into four geographical zones, in which they were drawn against a rival from their same zone.^[4] In each zone, four rounds were played: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the finals; the former three stages were played as single-legged ties, whilst the latter one was a double-legged series. The four regional winners then advanced to the national stage, where they played two semi-finals with their winners playing the final to decide the champion.^[5]

The champions of this edition were entitled to earn the right to compete in the 2024 Copa Libertadores taking the Chile 4 berth, provided they played in the Chilean Primera División in the 2024 season. In case they did not meet this requirement, they would be awarded a monetary prize and the Copa Libertadores berth would be passed to the Copa Chile runners-up, provided they also met the aforementioned condition. Since the champions Colo-Colo had already qualified for the Copa Libertadores through league performance, and the runners-up Magallanes were relegated from the top tier, the berth was reallocated to the 2023 Campeonato Nacional best team not yet qualified for the competition.^[6]

The champions also earned the right to play the 2024 Supercopa de Chile against the 2023 Campeonato Nacional champions, regardless of the tier they play in.

They were then drawn against a team in their group, according to geographical and safety criteria.
