• Estadio La Arboleda, Asunción (capacity: 7,500)
• Estadio General Adrián Jara, Luque (capacity: 3,500)

Draw

The draw was held on 18 September 2017, 12:00 PYT (UTC−4), at the headquarters of the Paraguayan Football Association. The 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four. The three host teams were seeded into Pot 1, while the remaining teams were seeded based on the results of their association in the 2016 Copa Libertadores Femenina.

Notes

1. The draw was held before the identity of the team from Bolivia (Deportivo ITA) was known.

Group stage

The group winners and top runners-up advanced to the semi-finals.

On 9 October 2017, none of the scheduled Group C matches were played as players from several teams showed symptoms for food poisoning. CONMEBOL later announced the competition would be paused for three full days, to be resumed on 12 October 2017 with a modified schedule with four matches played on that day. The group stage was also extended from 15 to 17 October, while the semi-finals were rescheduled from 18 to 19 October. The Group B match between Colón and Universitario were further postponed from 13 to 15 October because some players had not yet recovered from food poisoning.

All times are local, PYST (UTC−3).
