The format of the 2007–08 Coppa, which was announced on June 28, 2007, is a major departure from the format used in previous years.[4] The new format reduces the number of competitors to the 42 teams which will play in Serie A and Serie B for the 2007–08 season; no Serie C teams participated in the tournament. Also, the rather unusual two-leg final was eliminated.

The format for pairings will be as follows:

  • First phase: one-leg fixtures
    • First round: The bottom 24 seeds (19–42) are paired
