2024 Copa Libertadores group stage

The 2024 Copa Libertadores group stage was played from 2 April to 8 June 2024.^[1] A total of 32 teams competed in the group stage to decide the 16 places in the final stages of the 2024 Copa Libertadores.^[2]

The draw for the group stage was held on 18 March 2024, 20:00 PYST (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.^[3][4]

Teams were seeded by their CONMEBOL Clubs ranking as of 18 December 2023 (shown in parentheses),^[5] taking into account the following three factors:^[6]

1. Performance in the last 10 years, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 2014–2023.
2. Historical coefficient, taking into account Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana results in the period 1960–2013 and 2002–2013 respectively.
3. Local tournament champion, with bonus points awarded to domestic league champions of the last 10 years.

For the group stage, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups (Groups A–H) of four containing a team from each of the four pots. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same group, excluding the four winners of the third stage, which were allocated to Pot 4 and could be drawn into the same group with another team from the same association.
