South American club football reaches its absolute peak on Saturday, November 29. The 2025 Copa Libertadores final features a heavyweight showdown between Palmeiras and Flamengo, live from the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
With continental domination on the line, you can expect this to be a hard-fought battle by two clubs whose rivalry has only intensified in recent years. Both Palmeiras and Flamengo have won this trophy three times, and the winner of this edition will become the most decorated Brazilian club in the tournament’s history. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s a rematch of the 2021 final that saw Palmeiras win in extra time.
For fans in the U.S., finding this game on TV can be a challenge. You won’t see it on your local channels or the main ESPN or FOX networks. To help you get ready for the opening whistle, I’ve broken down exactly where to tune in and the best ways to stream it live.
2025 Copa Libertadores Final
Matchup: Palmeiras vs. Flamengo

Time: 4:00 p.m. ET
Channels: beIN SPORTS, beIN SPORTS en Español
What U.S. channel has the Copa Libertadores final?
You can watch the 2025 Copa Libertadores final live on beIN SPORTS in the U.S. Meanwhile, the Spanish-language broadcast will be on beIN SPORTS en Español. Both channels will have complete pre- and post-game coverage.
Best TV plans for watching the Copa Libertadores final
The biggest hurdle for U.S. fans watching the Copa Libertadores final is that its exclusive home, beIN SPORTS, is notoriously hard to get. As I’ve found in my provider research, many of the most popular live TV services don’t even carry the channel. To solve that problem, I’ve analyzed over 13 TV providers to find the best (and cheapest) ways to get the channel in time for this month’s final.
Best overall: Fubo
Fubo is the best and most straightforward option for watching the Copa Libertadores final. The main reason is that you get beIN SPORTS in its standard Pro plan, so you don’t have to hunt for a special add-on. This one subscription also gets you a ton of other must-have sports channels (like ESPN, FS1, and CBS Sports Network) and unlimited cloud DVR storage.
Now, let’s talk about the price, which is the main downside. Fubo is a premium service, and even if you get a sign-up deal, you must factor in taxes and the dreaded regional sports fee. That fee can add up to $16.99 a month, depending on your location, which is a hefty hidden cost. It’s a fantastic, all-in-one service, but that extra fee is a tough pill to swallow.
Cheapest: Sling TV
For the most affordable way to watch Copa Libertadores matches, I recommend Sling TV. The live TV streaming service offers a standalone Soccer Pass subscription for just $7.99 a month. This gets you every beIN SPORTS channel to see the Flamengo–Palmeiras final, plus other tournaments like the Copa Sudamericana.
I’ve always appreciated Sling TV because it’s a basic, no-frills service that just works. It doesn’t have many flashy features, but in my own testing, I’ve always had a smooth live stream experience. If you just want the Copa final without a complicated, expensive package, this is the most cost-effective route.
Niche alternative: Fanatiz
If you’re a die-hard South American fútbol fan who doesn’t care for a comprehensive live TV plan, then Fanatiz is another direct option. This is a bare-bones streaming service built specifically for soccer lovers. To watch the Copa Libertadores final, you must navigate its confusing packages and find the Front Row Monthly plan ($12.99/mo.), which includes beIN SPORTS programming.
Unfortunately, Fanatiz is a classic “you get what you pay for” experience. I find the app and website interface to be pretty messy and sometimes glitchy, which is frustrating during live events. Still, it’s compatible with major devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.
How to watch the Copa Libertadores final for free
Since the game is on a premium channel, your only (legal) free option is to use a live TV streaming service free trial.
My top recommendation is Fubo’s five-day free trial, as its Pro and Elite plans include beIN SPORTS. If you time it right, you can sign up on Black Friday, watch the final on Saturday, and still have a few days to explore the service before your time’s up. That’ll keep you busy with all the major TV events happening over Thanksgiving weekend.
