2026 Copa Libertadores Map (47 teams), with club histories (Libertadores appearances & titles listed).

“The 2026 tournament is the 10th since it was expanded in 2017, from 38 to 47 teams. And it wasn’t just an expansion of teams in the tournament, it was also an expansion of the tournament’s length. 10 years ago, the Libetadores’ schedule was expanded from a 6 month-time-frame to a whopping and roster-depleting 11 month-long tournament (to the detriment of smaller clubs). Since then, no team from a country other than Brazil or Argentina has won the title. Brazilian teams have won it 8 times since the tournament-expansion, and an Argentinian team has won it once since then. And Brazilian sides have won the last 7 titles. (Copa Libertadores winner in 2025 was Flamengo, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; it was the club’s 4th Libertadores title. Copa Sudamericana winner in 2025 was Lanús, a club from the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina.) …”
