The 2021 Copa de la Liga Profesional was the second edition of the Copa de la Liga Profesional, an Argentine domestic cup. It began on 12 February and ended on 4 June 2021.
Due to the worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, the President of Argentina suspended all the activities, including the Copa de la Liga Profesional, between 22 and 30 May 2021.[1] Therefore, the semi-finals and final of the tournament were rescheduled for 31 May and 4 June 2021, respectively.[2]
The competition was contested by the 26 teams that will take part in the Primera División during the 2021 season, including the two promoted teams from the 2020 Primera Nacional (Sarmiento (J) and Platense).[3] Boca Juniors were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the semi-finals.
Colón won their first top-flight professional title after they defeated Racing 3–0 in the final. As champions, Colón qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores.[4]
Vélez Sarsfield, top team of the Zone B, were eliminated in the quarter-finals.
