The 2019 CONMEBOLSouth American Beach Soccer League is the third edition of the South AmericanBeach Soccer League, a continental league competition for South American men's national beach soccer teams. Organised by the governing body for South American football, CONMEBOL, as part of its Development Department's Evolution Program, all ten members of the continental confederation take part, with both senior and under 20s national teams participating in the league events. The teams are first divided into two geographically based zones to compete in a round robin tournament against other members of their own zone during the regular season; the points earned by both the senior and under 20s teams are combined. This season, the make-up of the zones was changed for the first time. The winners of each zone then proceeded to face each other in the finals to contest the title. Brazil are the defending champions.
Format
The league operates under the same format established for the inaugural season.
Calendar
The calendar was revealed on 7 August.
Teams
The ten member nations of CONMEBOL enter two teams each: their respective senior and under 20s national teams. In total, 20 teams will compete. For this season, CONMEBOL have altered the existing composition of the two zones, deciding that Brazil and Peru of the north zone and Paraguay and Uruguay of the south zone, will swap conferences.. The numbers in parentheses show the South American ranking of each team prior to the start of the season.
The North zone regular season event took place in the Ecuadorian city of Manta. All matches were hosted at the Arena Olimpica de Manta on Playa el Murcielago. The event was organised in cooperation with the Ecuadorian Football Federation. Matches are listed as local time in Manta, ECT.
