Group stage
The teams were divided into three groups of four teams each. The formation of the groups was made by CONMEBOL in a public drawing of lots.[2]
Each team plays one match against each of the other teams within the same group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a defeat.
First and second placed teams, in each group, advance to the quarter-finals. The best third placed team and the second best third placed team, also advance to the quarter-finals.
- Tie-breaking criteria
Teams were ranked on the following criteria:
- 1. Greater number of points in all group matches
- 2. Goal difference in all group matches
- 3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
- 4. Head-to-head results
- 5. Drawing of lots by the CONMEBOL Organising Committee

Theme songs
- "Más Allá de los Sueños" by Peruvian singer-songwriter Gianmarco was the official theme song for the tournament.[5][6] The song was well received and became popular in Latin America but mostly in Perú.[7][8][9][10] Despite it being the official tournament theme song, Gian Marco was unable to perform it during the closing ceremony due to him being on tour at that time.[11]
- "La Copa Será Tuya Al Final" by Betzaida was used by Univision as their theme song.[12][13][14]
