How much prize money will the next Copa Argentina 2026 champion earn | OneFootball

The 2026 Copa Argentina will see a significant increase in the financial prizes awarded to clubs, with amounts that nearly double those given in the previous season, solidifying the tournament as an increasingly attractive competition financially as well.

The champion of the next edition will pocket a total of 237,500 dollars, a record figure for the tournament. At the current official exchange rate, the total amount the winner can receive rises to 344.3 million pesos, adding up the prizes obtained 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 Copa Argentina, the champion Independiente Rivadavia had received 140,000 dollars, equivalent to about 203 million pesos, with considerably lower prizes per phase: 5,200 dollars 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 dollars), the economic leap of the 2026 Copa Argentina reinforces the value of the federal tournament, which not only offers a title and an international ticket but also a key income for clubs from all categories of Argentine football.
