In 2016, CONMEBOL proposed that the Copa Libertadores final to be played as a single match instead of over two legs.

On 14 August 2018, CONMEBOL announced that the 2019 final would be played in Santiago, Chile at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos, however, due to safety concerns derived from the 2019 Chilean protests, and after consultations with the finalist clubs and their respective football associations, CONMEBOL announced on 5 November 2019 that the match was moved to the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru.
