The 2018 Copa Sudamericana second stage was played from 17 July to 16 August 2018. ^[1] A total of 32 teams competed in the second stage to decide the 16 places in the final stages of the 2018 Copa Sudamericana. ^[2]

Draw

The draw for the second stage was held on 4 June 2018, 20:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the CONMEBOL Convention Centre in Luque, Paraguay. ^{[3] [4]} For the second stage, the teams were allocated to two pots according to their previous results in this season: ^[5]

• Pot 1: 10 teams transferred from the Copa Libertadores and six best winners of the first stage from the Copa Sudamericana
