Knockout Stage Format
Unlike some tournaments that hold a new draw for each round, the Copa Libertadores knockout bracket is fully determined from the Round of 16 onwards. This means teams can already map out their potential path to the final.
Home-field advantage in the second leg is determined by performance in the group stage. Group winners are guaranteed to play the return leg at home in the Round of 16. In subsequent rounds, the team with the better group stage record (based on points) will host the second leg.
