Today’s game between Vasco da Gama and Olimpia will kick-off at Aug 13, 2026, 6:00 PM.
Vasco da Gama vs Olimpia is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Vasco da Gama host Olimpia in the Copa Sudamericana, with the Brazilian side looking to press their advantage in what has already been a competitive group-stage battle between these two clubs.
Vasco arrive under Pedro Emanuel carrying the weight of a difficult domestic campaign. Sitting 18th in Serie A, the Rio club are fighting a relegation battle on one front while attempting to make progress in South American competition on another. That dual pressure has defined their season.
Their most recent Serie A outing ended in a goalless draw at Bahia, a result that did little to ease their league concerns. The Copa Sudamericana has offered some relief, with Vasco beating Independiente Medellin 1-0 in their last continental group fixture.
Olimpia arrive from Paraguay in uncertain form. Pablo Andres Sanchez’s side have lost three of their last four matches in the División Profesional, including a 1-0 defeat to 2 de Mayo in their most recent outing. Their continental form tells a different story, though — they beat Vasco 3-1 in Asunción earlier in this same group campaign.
That result gives Olimpia reason for confidence despite their domestic struggles. They currently top Group G, which makes this fixture a direct contest between the top two sides in the section.
