Live Copa Libertadores TV & Streaming Schedule

Where to Stream Copa Libertadores Live

The following premium networks and streaming platforms hold the verified digital broadcast rights to air official Copa Libertadores action.

The Copa Libertadores is the biggest club soccer tournament in South America. It's the continent's version of the Champions League, but it's wilder. Hostile stadiums, flares in the stands, and some of the most passionate fans on the planet. The group stage is wrapping up, with the knockout rounds set to start next month.

Top teams

Brazilian clubs have dominated in recent years. Flamengo has won multiple titles and always fields a star-studded roster. Palmeiras won back-to-back titles in 2020 and 2021 and has been a force ever since. On the Argentine side, River Plate and Boca Juniors are the giants. The Superclásico in the Libertadores is the biggest game in South American soccer. Other contenders include Atlético Mineiro, Racing Club, and clubs from Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador. The tournament is unpredictable. The away goals rule used to be a factor, but CONMEBOL scrapped it in 2025. Now it's straight knockout in the later rounds.

Format

The tournament starts with qualifying rounds for clubs from smaller countries. Then 32 teams go into a group stage with eight groups of four. The top two from each group advance to the knockout rounds. From there, it's two-leg ties until the final, which is a single match at a neutral venue. The atmosphere at the final is always insane. The stadium is packed with fans from both clubs. It's the biggest night in South American soccer.

Viewership

The Libertadores pulls massive numbers. The final alone draws over 60 million viewers across South America and beyond. The early rounds get strong ratings in Brazil and Argentina. The knockout rounds, especially when the big clubs face each other, are massive events. The tournament is a cultural institution in South America. People take time off work to watch their club play.

TV options in South America

Coverage varies by country. In Brazil, ESPN Brasil and Paramount+ hold the rights. In Argentina, ESPN and Fox Sports split the coverage. In other countries, local broadcasters have deals with CONMEBOL. There's no single pan-South American broadcaster. Fans in each country know where to find their team's matches.

Streaming options in the US

beIN Sports is the exclusive home of the Copa Libertadores in the United States. They show matches on their cable channels and streaming app. If you don't have cable, you can get beIN through FuboTV, Sling TV, or Fanatiz. Fanatiz is the most affordable option for just the soccer content. Spanish commentary is the default, but some matches have English options.

International viewing

In Europe, coverage varies by country. In Spain, Movistar Plus+ carries the tournament. In the UK, Premier Sports has the rights. In other parts of Europe, it's a mix of local broadcasters and streaming. In Japan and other Asian markets, DAZN has a deal. For fans in countries without a local broadcaster, the beIN Sports app is sometimes available, but it's region-locked. A VPN is often the solution for international fans who want to watch.

Current season

The 2026 Copa Libertadores kicked off in February. The group stage is wrapping up in April, with the knockout rounds starting in May. Flamengo and Palmeiras are the Brazilian favorites. River Plate and Boca Juniors are carrying the flag for Argentina. The final is scheduled for November at a neutral venue in South America.
