River Plate face Universitario in Matchday 6 of the 2025 Copa Libertadores group stage. Fans in the USA can watch all the action live—here’s everything you need to know about the broadcast and streaming details.
River Plate have already their ticket to the Round of 16 and secured first place in Group B after dismantling Independiente del Valle 6-2, but they’re not easing off the gas. Marcelo Gallardo’s team is aiming to close the group stage with authority.
