The 2022 Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana is the 21st edition of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (also referred to as the Copa Sudamericana), South America's secondary club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.[1]

The winners of the 2022 Copa Sudamericana will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2022 Copa Libertadores in the . They will also automatically qualify for the group stage.

On 14 May 2020, CONMEBOL announced the candidate venues for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 club competition finals.[2][3] On 13 May 2021, CONMEBOL's Council decided that the will be played at the Arena BRB Mané Garrincha in Brasília, Brazil on 1 October 2022.[4]

On 25 November 2021, CONMEBOL announced the abolition of the away goals rule in all of its club competitions including the Copa Sudamericana, which had been used since 2005.[5] Accordingly, if in a two-legged tie two teams score the same amount of aggregate goals, the winner of the tie would not be decided by the number of away goals scored by each team but by a penalty shoot-out.

Athletico Paranaense are the defending champions, but since they qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores group stage as Copa Sudamericana champions they will only be able to defend their title if they finish in third place of their group.
