Copa Libertadores Final 2019 TV channel and LIVE stream: How to watch Flamengo vs River Plate online and on TV

The biggest game in South American football is tonight as reigning champions River Plate take on Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores Final.

After last year's remarkable two-legged final between River and rivals Boca Juniors, which had multiple postponements and stretched across two continents as violence before the second leg saw it delayed and moved to the Santiago Bernabeu.

River eventually won 5-3 after extra time and are back in the final - which will now be one leg after the events of 2018 - having beaten Boca over two legs in the semi-finals.

Flamengo have won the Copa Libertadores once before, in 1981.

The winner will go into the semi-finals of December's Club World Cup and could face Liverpool in the final.

How to watch

The Copa Libertadores Final will be broadcast live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, with coverage starting at 7.45pm GMT ahead of an 8pm GMT kick-off.

The final will be played at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
