How much prize money will the 2026 Copa Argentina champions take home | OneFootball

The 2026 Argentine Cup will feature a remarkable increase in the financial prizes awarded to clubs, with amounts that practically double those given in the previous season, consolidating the tournament as an increasingly attractive competition from a financial standpoint as well.

The champion of the next edition will take home a total of $237,500, a record figure for the tournament. At the current official exchange rate, the total amount the winner can receive amounts to 344.3 million pesos, adding up the prizes earned round by round.

The new scheme establishes US$9,000 in the round of 64, US$20,000 in the round of 32, US$26,600 in the round of 16, US$33,600 in the quarterfinals, US$53,300 in the semifinals, and US$95,000 for the champion, representing a significant increase at each stage of the tournament compared to previous years.

In comparison, in the 2025 Argentine Cup, champion Independiente Rivadavia had received $140,000, equivalent to about 203 million pesos, with noticeably smaller prizes per phase: $5,200 in the round of 64, US$11,600 in the round of 32, US$15,400 in the round of 16, US$19,300 in the quarterfinals, US$31,000 in the semifinals, and US$58,000 in the final.

Although the AFA continues to award a larger prize to the champion of the Professional League ($500,000), the financial leap of the 2026 Argentine Cup reinforces the value of the national tournament, which not only offers a title and an international berth, but also a key source of income for clubs from all categories of Argentine football.
