The 2017 Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana (Portuguese: Copa CONMEBOL Sul-Americana 2017) is the 16th edition of the Copa Sudamericana, South America's secondary club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.
The winners of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana will qualify for the 2018 Copa Libertadores, and also earn the right to play against the winners of the 2017 Copa Libertadores in the 2018 Recopa Sudamericana, and the winners of the 2017 J.League Cup in the 2018 Suruga Bank Championship.[1]
Chapecoense are the defending champions, they qualified for the tournament after finishing third in their 2017 Copa Libertadores group.
Format changes
Starting from this season, the following format changes will be implemented:[2][3][4][5][6][7]
- The tournament will be expanded from 47 to 54 teams.
- A total of 44 teams will directly enter the Copa Sudamericana, while a total of 10 teams eliminated from the Copa Libertadores (two best teams eliminated in the third qualifying stage and eight third-placed teams in the group stage) will be transferred to the Copa Sudamericana.[8]
- The schedule of the tournament will be extended to year-round so it will start in March and conclude in early December.
- As the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana will be held concurrently, no team will be able to qualify for both tournaments in the same year (except those which are transferred from the Copa Libertadores to the Copa Sudamericana).
- The Copa Sudamericana champions will no longer directly qualify for the next edition as they will now directly qualify for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores (although they may still be able to defend their title if they finish third in the group stage).
- Brazil will be allocated six berths, decreased from eight.
- All teams directly entering the Copa Sudamericana will enter the first stage (previously teams from Argentina and Brazil entered the second stage).[8]
Teams
The following 44 teams from the 10 CONMEBOL associations qualified for the tournament, entering the first stage:[8][9]
- Argentina and Brazil: 6 berths each
- All other associations: 4 berths each
A further 10 teams eliminated from the 2017 Copa Libertadores will be transferred to the Copa Sudamericana, entering the second stage.

Draw
The draw of the first stage was held on 31 January 2017, 21:00 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[22]
For the first stage, the 44 teams were divided into two zones:
- South Zone: Teams from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
- North Zone: Teams from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Teams from the South Zone were allocated to Pot A and teams from the North Zone were allocated to Pot B. The 44 teams were drawn into 22 ties (G1–G22) between a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B, with teams from Pot B hosting the second leg in odd-numbered ties, and teams from Pot A hosting the second leg in even-numbered ties. This distribution ensured that teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.
There will be a separate draw for the second stage, which will be held on 2 June 2017.[23] The 32 teams will be drawn into 16 ties.

Elimination stages
In the first stage, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would be used. If still tied, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (Regulations Article 6.1).[1]
The 22 winners of the first stage advanced to the second stage to join the 10 teams transferred from the Copa Libertadores (two best teams eliminated in the third stage of qualifying and eight third-placed teams in the group stage).
The elimination stages are structured as follows:
- First stage (44 teams): The 22 winners of the first stage advance to the second stage to join the 10 teams which are transferred from the 2017 Copa Libertadores (two best teams eliminated in the third qualifying stage and eight third-placed teams in the group stage).
- Second stage (32 teams): The 16 winners of the second stage advance to the round of 16.
