The 2015 South American Under-17 Football Championship (Spanish: Campeonato Sudamericano Sub-17 Paraguay 2015, Brazilian Portuguese: Campeonato Sul-Americano Sub-17 Paraguay 2015) was the 16th edition of the biennial international youth football tournament organized by CONMEBOL for players aged 17 and below. It was held in Paraguay from 4 to 29 March 2015.[1]

First stage
The draw was held on October 24, 2014.[4] Each group contains one team from each of the five "pairing pots": Argentina–Brazil, Paraguay–Uruguay, Colombia–Ecuador, Chile–Peru, Bolivia–Venezuela.
The top three teams in each group qualified for the final stage.
When teams finished level of points, the final order was determined according to:[2]
- superior goal difference in all matches
- greater number of goals scored in all group matches
- better result in matches between the tied teams
- drawing of lots
All match times are in local Paraguay Time (UTC−3).
