Quarter-finals
Notes
- ^ Olimpia play their home matches at Estadio Defensores del Chaco, Asunción instead of their regular stadium Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb, Asunción which is being rebuilt.
- ^ San Antonio Bulo Bulo play their home matches at Estadio Félix Capriles, Cochabamba instead of their regular stadium Estadio Dr. Carlos Villegas, Entre Ríos which did not meet CONMEBOL requirements.
- ^ Peñarol will play their home matches in the group stage behind closed doors as they were punished for incidents in their 2024 Copa Libertadores home matches against Flamengo and Botafogo.[16]
