Palmeiras and Estudiantes to meet in 2026 Libertadores final

Palmeiras and Estudiantes are set to face each other in the Copa Libertadores final on November 28, 2026. The championship will be decided in a single match at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay.

This matchup revisits a historic rivalry from the 1968 Libertadores final. In that series, Estudiantes won the title after a three-match battle, securing the trophy with a 2-0 victory in the deciding game following a 2-1 win in La Plata and a 3-1 Palmeiras victory at the Pacaembu Stadium. The 1968 victory marked the beginning of a successful era for the Argentine club, which went on to win consecutive titles in 1969 and 1970.

Palmeiras reached the 2026 final after a challenging campaign that included victories over Cerro Porteño, LDU, and Fluminense in the knockout stages.
