Boca will be the only Argentine team in Pot 1, a status that will allow them to avoid the main contenders in the initial phase.

The team from La Ribera will share this privileged spot with powerhouses such as Flamengo, Palmeiras, Fluminense, Peñarol, and Nacional of Uruguay, as well as Liga de Quito and Independiente del Valle.

On the second tier, Estudiantes de La Plata and Lanús will appear, both placed in Pot 2, which also includes strong teams like Corinthians, Cruzeiro, and Cerro Porteño, promising tough groups from the start.

Rosario Central, meanwhile, will be part of Pot 3, alongside teams such as Junior from Colombia, Universidad Católica from Chile, and Independiente Santa Fe.

For their part, Platense and Independiente Rivadavia will be in Pot 4, reserved for teams with the lowest coefficients and those coming from the preliminary rounds.

Following the same path is Argentinos Juniors, who will begin their participation in Phase 2 of the Playoffs: first, they must overcome Barcelona of Guayaquil and then advance in Phase 3 to reach the group stage.

In this way, the Argentine map for the 2026 Copa Libertadores is already defined, with different realities but a common goal: to be protagonists in a tournament that will feature a strong national presence and will once again put the country's teams at the center of the continental stage.
