Copa Libertadores 2026 — Everything You Need to Know
The 2026 Copa Libertadores brings together 32 clubs from CONMEBOL's ten member federations in a group stage of eight four-team groups, followed by a straight knockout bracket through to the final — a single match at a neutral venue since 2019.
Group Stage & Format
The 32 clubs play in eight groups of four, each a home-and-away round robin. The top two in each group advance to the round of 16; the third-place finisher drops into the Copa Sudamericana knockout rounds instead of being eliminated outright, and the last-place team is out of both competitions. The knockout rounds — round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and final — are all two-legged except the final itself, played as a single match at a neutral venue.
The Road to the 2026 Final
The 2026 edition has its finalists: Palmeiras (3 titles) beat 2023 champions Fluminense on penalties, and Estudiantes de La Plata (4 titles) beat four-time champions Flamengo — who won their fourth title in 2025 by beating that same Palmeiras side — also on penalties. The final is on November 28 in Montevideo — the same city where Peñarol won the tournament's very first edition in 1960, and where Estudiantes won their first title, in 1968.
