The match will be played by Brazilian clubs Palmeiras and Flamengo on 29 November 2025 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. [1]

The winners of the 2025 Copa Libertadores will qualify for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and will earn the right to play against the winners of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana in the 2026 Recopa Sudamericana. They will also automatically qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores group stage.

Venue

On 28 April 2025, Lima was announced as the host city for the final match of the 2025 Copa Libertadores at a stadium to be confirmed, following an application made by the Peruvian Football Federation. [2] The appointment was confirmed after a meeting between the president of CONMEBOL Alejandro Domínguez and the president of Peru Dina Boluarte, who stated that the Peruvian government would commit to providing the necessary guarantees for the event to take place. [3]

On 11 August 2025, CONMEBOL confirmed Estadio Monumental as the venue for the final match. [1] This will be the fourth Copa Libertadores final to be played in the Peruvian capital and the second to be played at Estadio Monumental after the 2019 one, in which Brazilian club Flamengo defeated Argentine side River Plate.
