Colombia have already booked their place in the FIFA World Cup, but Venezuela's fate is still to be decided.
They currently sit seventh in the CONMEBOL qualification table, which will offer them the chance to make the tournament proper through a play-off game.
But they occupy the only spot below the top-six automatic qualification places that offers this chance, and with Bolivia only one point behind them, they still have everything on the line in this final fixture.
Below are all the details you need on live streams and broadcast options to watch Venezuela vs Colombia online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Venezuela vs Colombia: Match Preview
On account of Bolivia's poor goal difference, Venezuela enter this game needing a draw to cement their play-off place.
Colombia have little left to play for, after their 3-0 win over the Bolivians secured their World Cup spot, but Venezuela must not get complacent.
Los Cafeteros will be riding high on the momentum of that triumph, and with quality like James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz in their ranks, that could be a dangerous mix, not to mention they're now unbeaten in four.
FEATURE: Who are the biggest clubs in South America
Venezuela do not boast anything like the same talent in their squad, but with the driving force of their World Cup hopes behind them, they could drag themselves over the line.
Some fans in the UK man wince at the fact those hopes are pegged to a 35-year-old Rondon, who experienced mixed fortune on British soil, but the striker has been La Vinotinto's main man through this qualification period, notching a squad-best of five goals.
FourFourTwo's Prediction
Venezuela 1-1 Colombia
The sheer quality of Colombia will make them difficult to keep out, but they have registered three draws in their last four games. Venezuela enter this clash off the back of a couple of losses, but knowing what's at stake, FourFourTwo can see them throwing everything behind holding on to that all-important point.
