Today's game between Flamengo and Cusco FC will kick-off at May 26, 2026, 8:30 PM.
TV channel and live stream options for Flamengo vs Cusco FC are listed below. The match is available to watch across several platforms depending on your location.
Flamengo host Cusco FC in Group A of the Copa Libertadores, with the Brazilian giants looking to build on their position at the top of the table against a Peruvian side fighting to stay in contention.
Flamengo arrive at this fixture in uneven form. Leonardo Jardim's side were beaten 3-0 by Palmeiras in Serie A on May 24, a result that followed a 1-0 Copa Libertadores win over Estudiantes and a 1-1 draw with Athletico Paranaense. The Maracana crowd will expect a response after that heavy domestic defeat.
Cusco come into this match with a point to prove after a difficult run of results. Alejandro Orfila's side beat Atletico Grau 1-0 in the Peruvian Primera Division on May 23, but they were beaten 3-2 by Independiente Medellin in the Copa Libertadores four days earlier, a result that left them rooted to the foot of Group A.
The group standings tell the story clearly. Flamengo sit first, Cusco fourth. The Peruvians need a result to keep any realistic qualification hope alive, while Flamengo will want to cement their position at the summit.
These sides have met once before in this campaign. Flamengo won 2-0 away at Cusco in April, giving them a strong psychological footing ahead of this home tie.

Starting XI
Substitutes
Manager
- L. Jardim
- A. Orfila
Flamengo head into this fixture without any listed injuries or suspensions. Leonardo Jardim's projected XI includes Andrew in goal, with a back line of Danilo, Vitao, Emerson Royal, and Ayrton Lucas. Nicolas de la Cruz, Evertton Araujo, and Saul Niguez are named in midfield, while Luiz Araujo, Gonzalo Plata, and Bruno Henrique make up the attacking unit.
Cusco FC also carry no reported injury or suspension concerns into this match. Alejandro Orfila's projected XI features Andy Vidal in goal, with a defence of Marlon Ruidias, Carlos Gamarra, Aldair Fuentes, and Jose Zevallos. Diego Soto, Carlos Diez, Nicolas Silva, and Gabriel Carabajal are named in midfield, with Lucas Colitto and Jose Manzaneda leading the attack.
Form
Flamengo have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats across their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 Serie A loss to Palmeiras on May 24, which followed a 1-0 Copa Libertadores victory over Estudiantes. They also drew 1-1 with Athletico Paranaense in Serie A and lost 2-0 to Vitoria in the cup, with their other win coming at Gremio, a 1-0 Serie A result on May 10. That Palmeiras defeat is the low point of a run that has lacked consistency across competitions.
Cusco FC have taken one win, two draws, and two defeats from their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 1-0 Primera Division win over Atletico Grau on May 23, but they were beaten 3-2 by Independiente Medellin in the Copa Libertadores on May 21. They lost 1-0 to Sport Boys in the league and drew 1-1 with both Los Chankas and Estudiantes in their other matches. Cusco have scored five goals and conceded six across the five games.
Head-to-Head Record
The only recorded meeting between these sides came in the Copa Libertadores group stage on April 9, 2026, when Cusco FC hosted Flamengo and lost 2-0. That result gives Flamengo the only win across the available head-to-head data, and they travel into this home fixture having already demonstrated their superiority in the tie.
Standings
In Copa Libertadores Group A, Flamengo sit top of the table in first place, with Cusco FC fourth.
