Boca Juniors learns the final will start at 19.30 Argentina time on Saturday 21 November, in Barranquilla, while local Colombian kickoff is set for 17.30.

Why the final’s kickoff time changed
Initially the match was slated for 17:00 in Colombia (19:00 Argentina). Rumors then suggested a one‑hour delay due to Barranquilla’s heat, which would have pushed the Argentine start to 20:00.
CONMEBOL finally confirmed a 17:30 Colombian start – half an hour later than the original plan and half an hour before the later 20:00 Argentine slot cited in later reports.
The Sudamericana showdown pits two sides that survived their semifinals: Boca dispatched Vasco da Gama in Brazil, while Atlético Mineiro eliminated Montevideo City Torque.
When will Boca play the Sudamericana final
The Xeneize and Galo will clash in a single‑match final at Barranquilla’s Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez stadium, according to TyC Sports and Infobae.
Argentina: 19.30.
Brazil: 19.30, Brasília time.
Colombia: 17.30, local Barranquilla time.
Will the early kickoff give either side a tactical edge?
The date stays unchanged: Boca Juniors and Atlético Mineiro will decide the trophy on Saturday 21 November 2026. Argentine fans traveling to Colombia must note the two‑hour time difference.

How to register for updates
CONMEBOL urges fans to complete a pre‑registration on the official ticket portal to speed up purchase when the next phase launches. For my money, this early sign‑up is the smartest way to avoid missing out, though it doesn’t guarantee a seat.
Exclusive sections for both fanbases will also be sold through the official site. Before traveling or buying, supporters should verify updates on that platform and on Boca Juniors’ channels regarding dates, requirements, and stadium access.
