The 2023 Copa CONMEBOL Sudamericana was the 22nd edition of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (also referred to as the Copa Sudamericana), South America's secondary club football tournament organized by CONMEBOL.
The final was played in Maldonado, Uruguay on 28 October 2023. Originally scheduled to be held in Montevideo,[1] on 15 April 2023 it was announced that the final would be played at Estadio Centenario,[2] however the match was confirmed to have been moved to Estadio Domingo Burgueño in Maldonado on 15 September 2023.[3]
Ecuadorian club LDU Quito were the champions, winning their second title in the competition after defeating Brazilian club Fortaleza 4–3 on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time in the final.[4] As winners of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana, LDU Quito earned the right to play against the winners of the 2023 Copa Libertadores in the 2024 Recopa Sudamericana. They also automatically qualified for the 2024 Copa Libertadores group stage.
Independiente del Valle were the titleholders, but did not defend their title since they qualified for the 2023 Copa Libertadores group stage as Copa Sudamericana champions and later advanced to the knockout stage.
