Format

Starting from the round of 16, the teams played a single-elimination tournament with the following rules:^[2]

• In the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg (Regulations Article 2.2.3.2). If tied on aggregate, extra time would not be played, and a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 2.4.3).
• The final was 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 2.2.3.5). If tied after regulation, 30 minutes of extra time would be played. If still tied after extra time, a penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 2.4.4).

Teams from the same association or the same group could be drawn into the same tie (Regulations Article 2.2.3.2).^[2]

1. Grêmio played their round of 16 home match at Estádio Couto Pereira, Curitiba instead of their regular stadium Arena do Grêmio, Porto Alegre which was unavailable due to the impact of the 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods.
2. The Peñarol v Botafogo match was moved from Peñarol's regular stadium Estadio Campeón del Siglo, Montevideo to Estadio Centenario, Montevideo on advice from the Uruguayan government.^[37]
