The 2017 Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores (officially the Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores Bridgestone 2017 for sponsorship reasons){{cite web|url=http://www.pasionfutbol.com/noticias/Bridgestone-es-el-nuevo-patrocinador-de-la-Libertadores-20121202-0011.html|title=Bridgestone es el nuevo patrocinador de la Libertadores|publisher=Pasión Fútbol|date=December 3, 2012|language=es|access-date=December 21, 2015|archive-date=March 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190330143612/https://www.pasionfutbol.com/noticias/Bridgestone-es-el-nuevo-patrocinador-de-la-Libertadores-20121202-0011.html|url-status=dead}} was the 58th edition of the CONMEBOL Libertadores (also referred to as the Copa Libertadores), South America's premier club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.

Grêmio defeated Lanús in the finals by an aggregate score of 3–1 to win their third tournament title.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/gremio-campeon-de-la-conmebol-libertadores-bridgestone-2017 |title=Gremio campeón de la CONMEBOL Libertadores Bridgestone 2017|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=29 November 2017}} As champions, they qualified as the CONMEBOL representative at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana in the 2018 Recopa Sudamericana.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/sites/default/files/reglamento_conmebol_libertadores_bridgestone_2017_19_01_17_0.pdf|title=Reglamento Conmebol Libertadores Bridgestone 2017|publisher=CONMEBOL.com}} They also automatically qualified for the 2018 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Atlético Nacional were the defending champions, but they were eliminated in the group stage.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/botafogo-sella-clasificacion-y-despide-al-vigente-campeon|title=Botafogo sella clasificación y despide al vigente campeón|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=18 May 2017}}

Format changes

Starting from this season, the following format changes were implemented:{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-informa-detalles-adicionales-sobre-reforma-de-copa-libertadores-y-copa-sudamericana|title=Conmebol informa detalles adicionales sobre reforma de Copa Libertadores y Copa Sudamericana|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=3 October 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-ratifica-calendario-anual-para-copa-libertadores-y-copa-sudamericana|title=Conmebol ratifica calendario anual para Copa Libertadores y Copa Sudamericana|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=3 October 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/comunicado-de-conmebol-sobre-torneos-de-clubes|title=Comunicado de CONMEBOL sobre torneos de clubes|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=27 September 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/what-to-know-about-the-significant-changes-and-new-format-for-the-copa-libertadores/|title=What to know about the significant changes and new format for the Copa Libertadores|publisher=CBS Sports|date=27 September 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1941845-invitacion-por-criterio-tecnico-boca-y-river-podrian-jugar-la-copa-libertadores-2017|title="Invitación por criterio técnico": Boca y River podrían jugar la Copa Libertadores 2017|publisher=La Nacion|date=27 September 2016}}{{cite web|url=https://www.elsoldemexico.com.mx/deportes/471227-la-libertadores-tendras-mas-semanas-y-mas-equipos|title=La Libertadores tendrá más semanas y más equipos|publisher=El Sol de Mexico|date=27 September 2016|access-date=27 September 2016|archive-date=4 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104205841/https://www.elsoldemexico.com.mx/deportes/471227-la-libertadores-tendras-mas-semanas-y-mas-equipos|url-status=dead}}

  • The tournament was expanded from 38 to 47 teams.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/copa-bridgestone-libertadores-2017-tendra-47-clubes|title=Copa Bridgestone Libertadores 2017 tendrá 47 clubes|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=6 December 2016}}
  • A total of 10 teams eliminated from the Copa Libertadores (two best teams eliminated in the third stage of qualifying and eight third-placed teams in the group stage) were transferred to the Copa Sudamericana.
  • The schedule of the tournament was extended to year-round so it would start in late January or early February and conclude in late November or early December.

Although CONMEBOL proposed to change the format of the final to be played as a single match at a venue to be chosen in advance, they later decided to keep the two-legged home-and-away format.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-confirma-final-ida-y-vuelta-para-copa-libertadores-2017|title=Conmebol confirma final ida y vuelta para Copa Libertadores 2017|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=4 October 2016}}

On 18 November 2016, the Liga MX president Enrique Bonilla announced that teams from Mexico would not participate in the 2017 Copa Libertadores due to the format change which put it in conflict with the Mexican league schedule. However, he left open the possibility of a return as soon as 2018 if a solution was found.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-las-puertas-de-la-copa-libertadores-seguiran-abiertas-los-clubes-mexicanos|title=CONMEBOL: Las puertas de la Copa Libertadores seguirán abiertas a los clubes mexicanos|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=18 November 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/114/mexico/2016/11/18/29659012/mexico-officially-pulls-out-of-copa-libertadores|title=Mexico officially pulls out of Copa Libertadores|publisher=Goal.com|date=18 November 2016}}

Initially CONMEBOL announced that the tournament would be expanded from 38 to 44 teams, and the additional six berths would be distributed to the Copa Sudamericana champions (which no longer occupy one of the places allocated to their association and are now allocated an additional berth), two to Brazil, and one each to Argentina, Chile and Colombia, based on commercial and sporting criteria. Following the withdrawal of teams from Mexico, CONMEBOL announced that the other six associations (Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela) would also be each allocated an additional berth, further expanding the tournament to 47 teams.

From this season, the Copa Libertadores champions (which no longer occupy one of the group stage places allocated to their association) and the Copa Sudamericana champions gained direct entries into the group stage, meaning a total of 28 teams (increased from 26) would directly enter the group stage, while the other four berths (decreased from six) would be decided by the qualifying stages. The group stage berths left vacant following the withdrawal of teams from Mexico would be redistributed to Argentina and Brazil. For the qualifying stages, a total of 19 teams (increased from 12) competed in three rounds where the four winners advanced to the group stage (initially 16 teams would compete in two rounds before further expansion following the withdrawal of teams from Mexico).

Teams

The following 47 teams from the 10 CONMEBOL member associations qualified for the tournament:{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/definidos-los-47-aspirantes-que-lucharan-por-la-preciada-copa-libertadores-2017|title=Definidos los 47 aspirantes que lucharán por la preciada Copa Libertadores 2017|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=19 December 2016|language=es}}

  • Copa Libertadores champions

  • Brazil: 7 berths
