The group stage draw for the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana will occur at 18:00 on March 19, 2023, at the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (Conmebol) headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. This year's Copa Libertadores will see three Ecuadorian teams representing the nation: Independiente del Valle and Liga de Quito, who secured their spots as the national champions and runners-up, and Barcelona SC, who advanced from earlier qualifying rounds. This competition will feature a total of 32 teams in the group stage.

Ecuadorian teams have the potential to earn significant financial rewards during their matches. Conmebol allocates $1 million for each home game played, totaling three home games per team. Additionally, teams will earn $330,000 for each victory in their group matches, incentivizing strong performances and competitive play. This economic aspect highlights the importance of the tournament not just from a sporting perspective, but also from a financial one for the clubs involved.

In the Copa Sudamericana, Ecuador will be represented by Deportivo Cuenca and Macará, who will also compete against 32 other teams in this tournament. The performances of these teams can impact their financial standing and promote Ecuadorian football on an international stage, showcasing the growing football talent in the country and its competitive leagues.
