Qualified teams

38 teams qualified to this edition, with 26 teams directly qualifying to the group stage and 12 having to play in the preliminary round. Seven countries sent their Apertura winners and Clausura winners for their first two berths. The remaining berth, or berths in Argentina's case, went to the best-place finishers shown by an aggregate table. Brazil's league uses a European-style format and thus does not have an Apertura and Clausura tournament. Therefore, they sent their cup winner and the best four of the Brazilian Championship. Uruguay and Ecuador had a Mini-League (Liguilla) to determine who qualify, and Mexico uses the InterLiga to determine two of its qualifiers. The last qualified team in each country played the Preliminary Round; the country who had a club win the previous edition (Argentina) had two teams in the Preliminary Round because the defending champion automatically qualifies. In recent times, many Latin American football leagues are divided in two sections per season, Apertura and Clausura, each with its own champion. ... The InterLiga is a football competition between Mexican clubs to determine qualifying spots for that country in South Americas premier club competition, the Copa Libertadores. ...
