Uruguay vs Colombia live stream: Watch 2026 WC qualifier FREE

Today’s Uruguay vs Colombia live stream promises a full-blooded blockbuster between two of South America’s top teams. Darwin Nunez was one of five Uruguay players involved in a mass brawl with Colombia fans after their Copa America semi-final clash in July, an incident that’s turned this into the foremost rivalry on the continent – and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPNand potentially for FREE.

A Jefferson Lerma header from a James Rodriguez corner before the break proved decisive on the day, but the real drama would follow the full-time whistle. Nunez, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mathias Olivera, Ronald Araujo and Jose Maria Gimenez entered the stands, punches were thrown, and lengthy bans were handed out. The players have always maintained that they were protecting their families.

One thing that isn’t up for debate is the quality of both teams. Colombia are 2nd and Uruguay 3rd in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying standings, and Liverpool teammates Nunez and Luis Diaz have been scoring goals for fun.

With Rodriguez and Jhon Duran also amongst the Cafeteros frontmen, it’s little surprise that Colombia have embraced a shoot-on-site policy. Marcelo Bielsa’s men, however, will be fired up by a burning sense of injustice.
