Libertadores gets pricier: channel hikes package price by 80% | OneFootball

Paramount, which broadcasts the Libertadores, has raised its prices

The Copa Libertadores has already started, and fans of the competition received some bad news. One of the holders of the competition's broadcasting rights, Paramount, increased its plan prices by 80%. Therefore, Flamengo fans, whose team debuts in April, will have to dig deeper into their pockets.

The basic plan went up from R$ 19.90 to R$ 34.90. The annual plan jumped from R$ 169.90 to R$ 309.90. Other smaller adjustments occurred in other plans. The premium plan increased from R$ 34.90 per month to R$ 44.90, with the annual plan rising from R$ 309.90 to R$ 399.90. This information comes from journalist Gabriel Vaquer.

Paramount usually shares the broadcasting of Flamengo games with Globo, on free-to-air TV. However, the streaming channel can also show matches exclusively. Therefore, there is anticipation to see which broadcasters will show the four-time champions in 2026.

WHICH CHANNELS WILL BROADCAST THE LIBERTADORES?

In 2026, Globo will broadcast two games per round (at the same time, with regional splits) and one in the knockout stages. At the same time, GETV (YouTube) will show the same match. Finally, ESPN and Paramount will share all the matches on paid platforms, with ESPN having priority in choosing games.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO FANS KNOW THE CHANNELS?

Thus, the list of which channels will broadcast each Flamengo game will only be known after the group stage draw. The ceremony will take place on March 18, at Conmebol headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. As the current champion, the Most Beloved is guaranteed as the top seed in Group A of the Copa Libertadores da América. Coluna, of course, will bring all the latest information next month.
