Copa Libertadores 2026 Semifinals: Confirmed Dates, Times and Venues
CONMEBOL has locked in the official semifinal schedule, and it runs a day later on each leg than earlier provisional dates suggested: Fluminense host Palmeiras October 14 at the Maracanã, while Estudiantes de La Plata host defending champions Flamengo October 15 at their own Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi (commercially known as Estadio UNO). Both ties kick off at 21:30 local time. Here is the confirmed schedule for both legs of both ties.
Fluminense vs Palmeiras
First leg: Wednesday, October 14, 21:30 (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro. Second leg: Wednesday, October 21, 21:30, at Nubank Parque, São Paulo. Fluminense host the first leg because they had a lower group-stage seed than Palmeiras this edition, which gives Palmeiras the right to host the decisive second leg at home.
Estudiantes de La Plata vs Flamengo
First leg: Thursday, October 15, 21:30 (Argentina time) at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi, La Plata. Second leg: Thursday, October 22, 21:30, at the Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro. This is the pair's third meeting of the tournament, after splitting two group-stage games 1-1 and 1-0 to Flamengo back in April and May.
What's Next
Both second legs land within 24 hours of each other, October 21 and 22, with the winners advancing to the November 28 final at Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
