The Copa Sudamericana is considered the second best tournament in South America and like the Copa Libertadores this tournament is organized by CONMEBOL. But this tournament is younger since it was founded in 2020. You can watch the Copa Sudamericana games live in the US on FuboTV with a 7-day free trial.

The countries that have the most titles in the Copa Sudamericana are Argentina and Brazil (they also lead the Copa Libertadores) with 9 and 5 titles each, respectively. Ecuador is the third country with the most titles with a total of 2 titles.

The defending champion of the 2021 Copa Sudamericana is a brazilian team, Athletico Paranaense, they won against Red Bull Bragantino. Only three teams have two titles in the tournament, two from Argentina and one from Brazil.
