Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense defeated fellow Brazilian club Red Bull Bragantino by a 1–0 score in the final to win their second tournament title.{{cite web|url=https://www.conmebol.com/es/athletico-paranaense-bicampeon-de-la-conmebol-sudamericana|title=Athletico Paranaense, bicampeón de la CONMEBOL Sudamericana|language=es|publisher=CONMEBOL|date=20 November 2021}} As winners of the 2021 Copa Sudamericana, Athletico Paranaense earned the right to play against the winners of the 2021 Copa Libertadores in the 2022 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores group stage.
Defensa y Justicia were the defending champions, but did not play this edition since they qualified for the 2021 Copa Libertadores group stage as Copa Sudamericana champions and later advanced to the knockout stage.
Format changes
On 2 October 2020, CONMEBOL's Council approved the implementation of format changes to the Copa Sudamericana starting from this edition, aimed at ensuring that each of the countries is better represented in the different stages of the competition. The following changes were implemented:{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/se-viene-una-conmebol-sudamericana-mas-competitiva-y-representativa|title=Se viene una CONMEBOL Sudamericana más competitiva y representativa|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=2 October 2020}}{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/sites/default/files/descripcion_de_formato_conmebol_sudamericana_2021_aprobado_consejo_02_10_2020.pdf|title=CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2021|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=2 October 2020}}
- The tournament was expanded from 54 to 56 teams, with all four Copa Libertadores third stage losers entering the competition instead of the two best teams eliminated.
- In the first stage, teams from all associations other than Argentina and Brazil played against a team from their same association in double-legged ties with the winners qualifying for a 32-team group stage, ensuring that at least two teams from each association will take part in the group stage.
- A group stage was included, with teams from Argentina and Brazil directly entering the Copa Sudamericana entering the competition at this stage, joining the 16 first stage winners and the four teams eliminated in the Copa Libertadores third stage. The winners of each group qualified for the round of 16.
- The eight third-placed teams of the Copa Libertadores group stage entered the competition at the round of 16.
Teams
The following 44 teams from the 10 CONMEBOL associations qualified for the tournament:{{cite web|url=http://www.conmebol.com/es/la-copa-sudamericana-2017-reunira-44-clubes|title=La Copa Sudamericana 2017 reunirá a 44 clubes|publisher=CONMEBOL.com|date=6 December 2016}}
