The 2026 Recopa Sudamericana (officially the CONMEBOL Recopa 2026) is the 34th edition of the Recopa Sudamericana, the football competition organized by CONMEBOL between the winners of the previous season's two major South American club tournaments, the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.

The competition is contested in a two-legged home-and-away format between Brazilian team Flamengo (winners of the 2025 Copa Libertadores) and Argentine team Lanús (winners of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana). The first leg was hosted by Lanús at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús, in Lanús, Argentina on 19 February 2026, while Flamengo will host the second leg at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 26 February 2026. ^[3]

Teams

This is the third Recopa Sudamericana participation for Flamengo, who previously won the competition in 2020 and lost in 2023, both against Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle. On the other hand, Lanús play its second Recopa Sudamericana, having been defeated in 2014 by Brazilian side Atlético Mineiro. ^[4]

Both sides previously faced each other in the group stage of the 2012 Copa Libertadores, in which they were drawn into Group 2 along with Emelec from Ecuador and Paraguayan side Olimpia. Although Flamengo won one match and drew the other one against Lanús, they were eliminated from the competition after placing third in the group, while the Argentine side advanced to the knockout rounds as group winner. ^[5]
