Originally, the knockout stage was scheduled to be played from 4 to 12 July 2020.[2][3] However, on 17 March 2020 the tournament was postponed until 2021 due to the pandemic in South America of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).[4]

All match times listed are local, ART (UTC−3) in Argentina and COT (UTC−5) in Colombia.

Format

In the knockout stage, if a match is tied after 90 minutes:
