The 2021 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores was the 62nd edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores), South America's premier club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. [1]
Starting from this season, teams must be in the top division of their member association to play in South American club competitions, [2] except for teams which are champions of the qualifying tournaments or cups. [3]
On 14 May 2020, CONMEBOL announced the candidate venues for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 club competition finals. [4] [5] On 13 May 2021, CONMEBOL announced that the final would be played at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay on 20 November 2021, [6] but on 27 July 2021 the final was eventually confirmed to have been rescheduled to 27 November 2021. [7]
Defending champions Palmeiras won their third Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian club Flamengo by a 2–1 score after extra time in the final match. [8] As winners of the 2021 Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras qualified for the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup, and earned the right to play against the winners of the 2021 Copa Sudamericana in the 2022 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores group stage.

The draw for the qualifying stages was held on 5 February 2021, 12:00 PYST ( UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. [28] [31]
Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL Clubs ranking as of 1 February 2021 (shown in parentheses), [32] [33] taking into account the following three factors: [34]
For the first stage, the six teams were drawn into three ties (E1–E3), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 |
---|---|
|
|
For the second stage, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (C1–C8), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie, excluding the three winners of the first stage, which were seeded in Pot 2 and whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 |
---|---|
|
|
For the third stage, the eight winners of the second stage were allocated without any draw into the following four ties (G1–G4), with the team in each tie with the higher CONMEBOL ranking hosting the second leg. As their identity was not known at the time of the draw, they could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.
The draw for the group stage was held on 9 April 2021, 12:00 PYT ( UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. [29] [35] For the group stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups (Groups A–H) of four containing a team from each of the four pots. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group, excluding the four winners of the third stage, which were seeded in Pot 4 and whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
The draw for the round of 16 was held on 1 June 2021, 12:00 PYT ( UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay. [30] For the round of 16, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (A–H) between a group winner (Pot 1) and a group runner-up (Pot 2), with the group winners hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association or the same group could be drawn into the same tie (Regulations Article 2.2.3.2). [1] [36]
In the qualifying stages, each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will be used. If still tied, extra time will not be played, and a penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 2.4.3). [1]
The qualifying stages are structured as follows:
Team 1 | Agg. | Team 2 | 1st leg | 2nd leg |

The 2021 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores was the 62nd edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores), South America's premier club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL. [1]
Starting from this season, teams must be in the top division of their member association to play in South American club competitions, [2] except for teams which are champions of the qualifying tournaments or cups. [3]
On 14 May 2020, CONMEBOL announced the candidate venues for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 club competition finals. [4] [5] On 13 May 2021, CONMEBOL announced that the final would be played at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay on 20 November 2021, [6] but on 27 July 2021 the final was eventually confirmed to have been rescheduled to 27 November 2021. [7]
Defending champions Palmeiras won their third Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian club Flamengo by a 2–1 score after extra time in the final match. [8] As winners of the 2021 Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras qualified for the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup, and earned the right to play against the winners of the 2021 Copa Sudamericana in the 2022 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores group stage.

The draw for the qualifying stages was held on 5 February 2021, 12:00 PYST ( UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. [28] [31]
Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL Clubs ranking as of 1 February 2021 (shown in parentheses), [32] [33] taking into account the following three factors: [34]
For the first stage, the six teams were drawn into three ties (E1–E3), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 |
---|---|
|
|
For the second stage, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (C1–C8), with the teams from Pot 1 hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie, excluding the three winners of the first stage, which were seeded in Pot 2 and whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 |
---|---|
|
|
For the third stage, the eight winners of the second stage were allocated without any draw into the following four ties (G1–G4), with the team in each tie with the higher CONMEBOL ranking hosting the second leg. As their identity was not known at the time of the draw, they could be drawn into the same tie with another team from the same association.
The draw for the group stage was held on 9 April 2021, 12:00 PYT ( UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. [29] [35] For the group stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups (Groups A–H) of four containing a team from each of the four pots. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group, excluding the four winners of the third stage, which were seeded in Pot 4 and whose identity was not known at the time of the draw, and could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.
Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
The draw for the round of 16 was held on 1 June 2021, 12:00 PYT ( UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Center in Luque, Paraguay. [30] For the round of 16, the 16 teams were drawn into eight ties (A–H) between a group winner (Pot 1) and a group runner-up (Pot 2), with the group winners hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association or the same group could be drawn into the same tie (Regulations Article 2.2.3.2). [1] [36]
In the qualifying stages, each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule will be used. If still tied, extra time will not be played, and a penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 2.4.3). [1]
The qualifying stages are structured as follows:
Team 1 | Agg. | Team 2 | 1st leg | 2nd leg |
---|---|---|---|---|

Bolívar | 2–4 | Junior | 2–1 | 0–3 |
San Lorenzo | 3–5 | Santos | 1–3 | 2–2 |
In the group stage, each group is played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The teams are ranked according to the following criteria: 1. Points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss); 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Away goals scored; 5. CONMEBOL ranking (Regulations Article 2.4.2). [1]
