The 2020 Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana was the 19th edition of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (also referred to as the Copa Sudamericana, or {{langx|pt|Copa Sul-Americana}}), South America's secondary club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/sites/default/files/docs2020/Manual-de-Clubes-Sudamericana-2020-es.pdf|title=Manual de Clubes / Reglamento CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2020|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|language=es}}
On 17 October 2019, CONMEBOL announced that the final would be played at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba, Argentina with the final originally scheduled to be played on 7 November 2020.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-designa-maracana-rio-y-mario-kempes-cordoba-sedes-de-las-finales-unicas-de-libertadores-y|title=El Maracaná (Río) y el Mario Kempes (Córdoba) sedes de las Finales Únicas de Libertadores y Sudamericana 2020|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=17 October 2019}} Argentine club Defensa y Justicia defeated fellow Argentine club Lanús by a 3–0 score in the final to win their first tournament title.{{cite web|url=https://www.conmebol.com/es/defensa-y-justicia-se-codea-con-la-gloria-y-alcanza-la-gran-conquista|title=Defensa y Justicia se codea con la gloria y alcanza La Gran Conquista|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=23 January 2021|language=es}} As champions, Defensa y Justicia earned the right to play against the winners of the 2020 Copa Libertadores in the 2021 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores group stage. Independiente del Valle were the defending champions, but did not play this edition as they qualified for the 2020 Copa Libertadores group stage as Copa Sudamericana champions and later advanced to the knockout stage.
On 21 May 2019, CONMEBOL announced that clubs must pass certain eligibility requirements in order to compete in the 2020 Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/condiciones-para-elegibilidad-de-clubes-en-la-conmebol-libertadores-2020-y-conmebol-sudamericana|title=Condiciones para elegibilidad de Clubes en la CONMEBOL Libertadores 2020 y CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2020|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=21 May 2019}} One of the original requirements was that teams must be in the top division of their member association, but this was removed after many associations stated that they had not adapted the regulations of their qualifying competitions for the 2020 Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-actualiza-criterios-de-elegibilidad-de-clubes-para-sus-torneos-del-2020|title=CONMEBOL actualiza criterios de elegibilidad de clubes para sus torneos del 2020|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=22 May 2019}}
The tournament was suspended after its first round due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed on 27 October 2020. It ended with the final on 23 January 2021.{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/la-libertadores-y-la-sudamericana-ya-tienen-fecha|title=La Libertadores y la Sudamericana ya tienen fecha|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=10 July 2020}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/la-final-unica-se-disputara-el-23-de-enero-en-el-mario-alberto-kempes|title=La Final Única se disputará el 23 de enero en el Mario Alberto Kempes|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=9 November 2020|language=es}}
