The 2017 Honduran Cup will be the 12th edition of the Honduran Cup and the third as Copa Presidente. The cup is a creation of the Honduran government funded by money allocated to national security fund. Its purpose is to support the growth of sport to detract the youth from vices and to promote national tourism for rural towns.
The cup will be contested by 64 teams from the top 3 divisions of the country. There will be a total of 10 teams from Liga Nacional (1st division), 27 from Liga de Ascenso (2nd division) and 27 from Liga Mayor (3rd division). Unlike the previous tournament which covered two calendar years, this edition will be played in 2017 only.
Juticalpa were the defending champions, but they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Deportes Savio.
The final will be held at Estadio Juan Ramón Brevé Vargas in Juticalpa, Olancho and the winner will compete in the 2017 Honduran Supercup.
The first round is scheduled to start on 21 January. Unlike the previous editions, no third place match will be played and the quarterfinals will be single matches instead of two-legged ties.
All round of 16 matches were originally scheduled for 15 March 2017, but were rescheduled to 22 March due to a lack of funding.
