South American football crowns its champion on 28 November 2026, when Estudiantes de La Plata face Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores final at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay. If you're planning to travel for the biggest club match on the continent, here's what you need to know — and how to get your tickets.
When and where the final is played
The 2026 Copa Libertadores final is a single match played on Saturday 28 November at the Estadio Centenario, the historic stadium in Montevideo that hosted the very first World Cup final in 1930. Kick-off time is still to be confirmed by Conmebol. Because it's a one-off final on neutral ground, everything is decided on the day.
The two finalists
Both teams reached the final through dramatic penalty shootouts. Estudiantes de La Plata, a four-time champion (1968, 1969, 1970, 2009), knocked out holders Flamengo at the Maracanã — with ten men — winning 3-2 on penalties thanks to a heroic display from goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. Palmeiras, three-time winners (1999, 2020, 2021), beat Fluminense 5-3 on penalties. It's also a rematch of the 1968 final, which Estudiantes won for their first continental title.
Getting to Montevideo and the Estadio Centenario
Montevideo is easy to reach: it's a short flight from Buenos Aires, São Paulo and other major South American cities, and a popular ferry connects Buenos Aires with Uruguay. The Estadio Centenario sits in Parque Batlle, close to the city centre, and is one of football's true temples — declared a Historical Monument of World Football by FIFA. Expect a huge travelling support from both Argentina and Brazil, so book travel and accommodation early.
