Conmebol stunned by shock Libertadores bid from unknown channel | OneFootball

XSports enters the race for the rights to the Libertadores 2027 to 2030

The final of the Libertadores 2025 will be broadcast by Globo (open), ESPN (cable), and Paramount Plus (streaming). However, broadcasters are already eyeing the broadcasting rights for the period between 2027 and 2030. The newly launched XSports promises to shake up the market.

According to journalist Gabriel Vaquer, XSports made a proposal even higher than Globo's, which until then was the favorite to win the bid. Therefore, Conmebol, which had announced only two 'rounds' of proposals, is considering opening a third.

XSports promises to fight on two fronts in the battle for broadcasting rights: the open package and the cable TV package. After all, the channel has a presence on television operators and also on subscription TVs, in addition to having terrestrial signal. The new project also desires the South American Cup and bets on a good relationship with Conmebol to win the bid.

AND THE LIBERTADORES 2025 AND 2026?

Despite the heated negotiations, it's important to highlight that the 2025 and 2026 editions already have signed contracts with the current rights holders. Therefore, the final between Flamengo and Palmeiras, this Saturday (29), will be broadcast by Globo (open), ESPN (cable), and Paramount Plus (streaming).

The most important game of the season takes place from 6 PM (Brasília time), at the Monumental U Stadium, in Lima, Peru. In addition to the already mentioned channels, Coluna do Fla will be present at the venue to cover the grand decision.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

Before that, however, Flamengo has another 'decision'. With a chance to win the Brasileirão 2025 title, Mengão visits Atlético-MG at the MRV Arena, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). To take the trophy, the Most Beloved needs to win and hope for a slip-up by Palmeiras, who face Grêmio, on the same day and time.
