The 2022 Copa Paulino Alcantara will be the fourth edition of the Copa Paulino Alcantara, the domestic football cup competition of the Philippines. Kaya–Iloilo was the previous cup winner.
Scheduling
The COVID-19 pandemic still persists as of 2022, which led to the cancellation of the league tournament in 2021 and the commencement of the 2021 Copa Paulino Alcantara in its place.[1] The 2022 Copa Paulino Alcantara is scheduled to start in March 14[2][3] with the final set to be held on May 23.[4]
Unlike previous editions of the Copa, where the teams would be separated into different groups, this year's edition of the competition will see all the current teams of the Philippines Football League play against each other once. The 7 clubs, playing in what is dubbed as the "elimination round", will play against each other once. At the end of the elimination round, the top four teams will then meet each other in the semifinals.[3] Just like in the 2021 edition, the losers of the semifinals will play each other in the third place match while the winners meet in the final, which will consist of a single match.
