The six Argentina berths of the 2021 Copa Libertadores were awarded to the following:{{cite web|url=https://www.afa.com.ar/es/posts/resoluciones-de-la-afa|title=Campeonatos oficiales de la Asociación|publisher=Argentine Football Association|date=28 April 2020}}
• The Argentina 1 berth was awarded to the 2019–20 Superliga Argentina champions.

• On 11 December 2020 it was confirmed that the 2019–20 Copa Argentina would not be completed in time to award its winner a berth into the 2021 Copa Libertadores, therefore the Argentina 3 berth was reallocated to the best team of the 2019–20 Superliga Argentina and 2020 Copa de la Superliga aggregate table not yet qualified.{{cite web|url=https://www.tycsports.com/liga-profesional-de-futbol-/copa-argentina-clasificados-copa-libertadores-copa-sudamericana-id308714.html|title=AFA confirmó cómo se define el cupo de la Copa Argentina a la Libertadores|publisher=TyC Sports|date=11 December 2020|language=es}}}}

{{Cnote2|Note BOL|n=0|Bolivia (BOL): The 2020 Clausura tournament was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bolivia, therefore the Bolivia 2, Bolivia 3, and Bolivia 4 berths of the 2021 Copa Libertadores were reallocated to the 2020 Apertura runners-up, 3rd and 4th placed teams, respectively.}}

{{Cnote2|Note CHI|n=0|Chile (CHI): On 30 December 2020, the Council of Presidents of the ANFP decided that the Chile 4 berth, originally awarded to the 2020 Copa Chile champions, would be awarded to the 4th placed team of the 2020 Chilean Primera División given that the 2020 Copa Chile will not be held before the start of the 2021 Copa Libertadores.{{cite web|url=https://chile.as.com/chile/2020/12/31/futbol/1609370744_438287.html|title=Consejo de la ANFP modificó las bases para los cupos de Libertadores y Sudamericana|publisher=AS Chile|date=30 December 2020|language=es}}}}

{{Cnote2|Note COL|n=0|Colombia (COL):

• On 25 July 2020, DIMAYOR decided that the 2020 Categoría Primera A season, suspended from 13 March due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia, would only have a single tournament played for the remainder of the season. Therefore, the Colombia 1 berth of the 2021 Copa Libertadores, originally awarded to the 2020 Apertura champions, and the Colombia 2 berth, originally awarded to the 2020 Finalización champions, would instead be awarded to the champions and runners-up of that single tournament, respectively.{{cite web|url=https://www.eltiempo.com/deportes/futbol-colombiano/asi-transcurre-la-asamblea-de-la-dimayor-con-primeras-decisiones-522146|title=¡Aceptado!

{{Cnote2|Note URU|n=0|Uruguay (URU): Given that the 2020 Primera División was not concluded before the start of the 2021 Copa Libertadores qualifying stages due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Uruguay, on 14 January 2021 the League Council of the Uruguayan Football Association approved a temporary modification to the qualification method of Uruguayan teams. Since associations must formally inform CONMEBOL of the teams that will take part in international competition in advance to the start of competition, some international berths were decided based on deadlines set according to the dates the respective Copa Libertadores rounds were scheduled for as well as the placements of teams in the 2020 Primera División aggregate table at the time of those deadlines:{{cite web|url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/AUF-Consejo-de-Liga-aprobo-el-regimen-especial-para-la-clasificacion-a-las-copas-uc775630|title=AUF: Consejo de Liga aprobó el régimen especial para la clasificación a las copas|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|date=14 January 2021|access-date=1 February 2021}}

• The Uruguay 4 berth was awarded to the best eligible team of the 2020 Primera División aggregate table as of 7 February 2021, considering that the Copa Libertadores first stage was scheduled to begin on 23 February 2021. Liverpool (2020 Primera División aggregate table 5th place as of 7 February 2021) accepted the berth after the top four of the aggregate table at that moment (Nacional, Montevideo City Torque, Peñarol, and Rentistas) all declined to take the berth.{{cite web|url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Liverpool-sera-Uruguay-4-en-la-Copa-Libertadores-2021-tras-negativa-de-cuatro-clubes-uc777665|title=Liverpool será “Uruguay 4” en la Copa Libertadores 2021 tras negativa de cuatro clubes|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=8 February 2021}}
