Additionally, the Libertadores draw will be broadcast by GE TV (YouTube), ESPN (cable channel and YouTube), Conmebol (YouTube) and Disney+ (streaming). So, stay tuned on YouTube, the website, and social media of Coluna do Fla.

Will Flamengo be a Seeded Team in the Libertadores?

Yes! As the current champion of the Libertadores, after defeating Palmeiras in 2025, Flamengo is the seeded team of Group A. It is worth noting that the Red-Black will not face any Brazilian team in the initial phase, as Bahia and Botafogo were eliminated in the preliminary stage of the tournament.

How are the Libertadores Pots Organized?

Pot 1: Flamengo, Palmeiras, Fluminense, Boca Juniors (ARG), Peñarol (URU), Nacional (URU), LDU (EQU) and Independiente Del Valle (EQU); Pot 2: Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Libertad (PAR), Estudiantes (ARG), Cerro Porteño (PAR), Lanús (ARG), Bolívar (BOL) and Universitario (PER); Pot 3: Junior Barranquilla (COL), Universidad Católica (CHI), Rosario Central (ARG), Santa Fe (COL), Always Ready (BOL), Coquimbo Unido (CHI), La Guaira (VEN) and Cusco (PER); Pot 4: Mirassol, Universidad Central (VEN), Platense (ARG), Independiente Rivadavia (ARG), Independiente Medellín (COL), Tolima (COL), Sporting Cristal (PER), Barcelona de Guayaquil (EQU).

The Conmebol ranking is responsible for dividing the pots among the groups qualified for the Libertadores. However, there are two exceptions: the current champion of America will necessarily be in pot 1, and the winner of the South American Cup enters pot 2, regardless of the entity's ranking.

What is Flamengo's Next Match?

While the Libertadores hasn't started yet, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment of the season. This Thursday (19th), Leonardo Jardim's team faces Remo at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the seventh round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Remo. However, Premiere, on pay-per-view, will broadcast the clash of the seventh round of the Brasileirão.
