The 2022 Copa Paulino Alcantara was the fourth edition of the

Kaya–Iloilo
in the highest-scoring final to date. As a result, United City won their second Copa title. They last won the title in the 2019, as Ceres–Negros.

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]

Participating clubs

All seven clubs of the

Maharlika Manila
are set to make a return after foregoing the 2021 cup tournament.

Format

Competition

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.[3] At the end of the elimination round, the top four teams will then meet each other in the semifinals, with the first-placed team facing the fourth-placed team, while the second-placed team faced the third-placed team, similar to the Finals Series in the inaugural PFL season.[5] 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.
