(S) Seed number assured
Starting from the knockout round play-offs, the teams play a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:[2]
- In the knockout round play-offs, round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg (Regulations Article 2.2.3). If tied on aggregate, extra time will not be played, and a penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 2.4.4).
- The final is played as a single match at a venue pre-selected by CONMEBOL, with the higher-seeded team designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes (Regulations Article 2.2.6). If tied after regulation, 30 minutes of extra time will be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 2.4.5).
The draw for the round of 16 will be held on 3 June 2024.[4] For the round of 16, the 16 teams will be drawn into eight ties (A–H) between a Copa Sudamericana group winner (Pot 1) and a knockout round play-offs winner (Pot 2), with the group winners hosting the second leg. Teams from the same association or the same group may be drawn into the same tie (Regulations Article 2.2.3.2).[2]
The bracket starting from the round of 16 is determined as follows:
| Round | Matchups | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Knockout round play-offs | (Group runners-up host second leg, matchups pre-determined)
| ||
| Round of 16 | (Group winners host second leg, matchups decided by draw)
| ||
| Quarter-finals | (Higher-seeded team host second leg)
| ||
| Semi-finals | (Higher-seeded team host second leg)
| ||
| Finals | (Higher-seeded team designated as "home" team)
|
The bracket will be decided based on the round of 16 draw, which will be held on 3 June 2024.
Summary
The first legs will be played on 16–18 July, and the second legs will be played on 23–25 July 2024.
