The 2025 Copa Ecuador (officially known as the Copa Ecuador Ecuabet DirecTV 2025 for sponsorship purposes)[1] was the fifth edition of the Copa Ecuador, Ecuador's domestic football cup. It began on 30 April 2025 and ended on 18 December 2025.
Universidad Católica were the champions, winning their first title in the competition after defeating LDU Quito 3–2 in the final.[2] By winning the tournament, Universidad Católica qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores first stage.
El Nacional were the defending champions, having won the previous edition of the competition in 2024, but were eliminated by 9 de Octubre in the round of 16.
Format
For this season, the competition kept the single knockout tournament used in the previous edition. A qualifying match was played by one Segunda Categoría team and an amateur one, with the winners advancing to the first stage of the competition, in which 10 Ecuadorian Serie B teams, the remaining Segunda Categoría ones and the amateur champions entered the competition. For this round, the involved clubs were drawn into 16 single-match ties, with the winners advancing to the second stage.
The 16 Ecuadorian Serie A teams joined the competition in the second stage, comprising the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, with the final match played between the two semifinal winners being the third and final stage of the competition. All rounds in the competition except for the semi-finals were played over a single leg, which were hosted by the team from the lower tier or the worst placed team in the season's aggregate table if both teams were from the same league. The semi-finals were played over two legs, whilst the final was played on neutral ground.[3]
Prizes
The champions of this edition qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores, taking the Ecuador 4 berth in that competition, as well as the 2026 Supercopa Ecuador against the 2025 Ecuadorian Serie A champions. Monetary prizes were also granted for this edition, with the champions being awarded US$260,000 and the runners-up receiving US$120,000. The four semifinalists were awarded up to US$80,000, the quarter-finalists received up to US$50,000, whilst teams eliminated in the round of 16, round of 32, first round and qualifying stage earned up to US$30,000, US$20,000, US$10,000 and US$5,000, respectively.[4]
