The 2018 Copa Chile is based on a system of direct elimination with double-legged ties, similar to the Copa del Rey. As a novelty, after 6 years, clubs that are members of the Segunda División Profesional were included, and after 8 years, clubs of the ANFA were also included, such as these of Tercera División A and Tercera División B.[1]
The champions of this edition (or the runners-up, if the champions had already qualified) earned the right to compete in the 2019 Copa Libertadores, taking the Chile 4 berth. Besides, they also earned the right to play the 2019 Supercopa de Chile. Unlike previous Copa Chile editions, the runners-up were not entitled to a berth to the Copa Sudamericana.[1]
