The 2015 Copa Sudamericana elimination stages were played from August 11 to September 17, 2015. A total of 46 teams competed in the elimination stages to decide 15 of the 16 places in the final stages of the 2015 Copa Sudamericana.[1]

Draw

The draw of the tournament was held on July 16, 2015, 20:00 UTC−4, at the Salón Joao Havelange of the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay.[2]

For the first stage, the 32 teams were divided into two zones:

Teams which qualified for berths 1 were drawn against teams which qualified for berths 4, and teams which qualified for berths 2 were drawn against teams which qualified for berths 3, with the former hosting the second leg in both cases. Teams from the same association could not be drawn into the same tie.

Format

In the elimination stages (first stage and second stage), each tie was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule was used. If still tied, the penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (no extra time was played). The 15 winners of the second stage (eight from winners of the first stage, four from Brazil, three from Argentina) advanced to the round of 16 to join the defending champions (River Plate).[1]

First stage

The first legs were played on August 11–13, and the second legs were played on August 18–20, 2015.[3]
