Following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the Pacific and Eje Cafetero regions of Colombia on August 10, 2026, the Dimayor has been forced to postpone professional football activities. The disaster, which had its epicenter in San José del Palmar, Chocó, has resulted in 273 confirmed fatalities and significant infrastructure damage, disrupting the scheduled progression of the Liga BetPlay and Copa Colombia tournaments.
In response to the ongoing emergency, league officials are evaluating three distinct proposals to restructure the remainder of the 2026 season. These potential changes include modifications to the tournament format for the second phase of the Liga BetPlay to ensure the completion of the competitions despite the widespread impact of the seismic event.
