Draw of the 2026 Libertadores and Sudamericana Cups: Possible Rivals for Argentine Teams

The draw for the group stage of the 2026 Libertadores and Sudamericana Cups will take place on March 19, with six Argentine clubs participating in each tournament.

The anticipated draw for the group stages of the 2026 Continental Cups, namely the Libertadores and Sudamericana, is set for Thursday, March 19, at 20:00 Argentine time. This draw will take place at the Conmebol headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. Argentine teams are strongly represented with six clubs in each tournament; notable mentions include Boca Juniors returning to the Libertadores, and River Plate, Racing Club, and San Lorenzo competing in the Sudamericana.

The structure of both tournaments will see the 32 teams divided into four pots based on the Conmebol ranking as of December 2025. The top-ranked teams will occupy the leading positions in Groups A through H, and the teams will be matched against others from different pots. However, a significant consideration in the grouping process is that no two teams from the same country can be placed in the same group, except under specific conditions.

This draw is crucial for the Argentine clubs involved, as it will determine their paths in these prestigious competitions. The Libertadores and Sudamericana are among the most prestigious tournaments in South American football, and how these Argentine teams fare will reflect on their national pride and aspirations within the international football landscape. Fans and analysts alike will be eagerly watching the results of the draw, as these matchups could greatly influence each team's chances of progressing in the tournaments.
