Santos FC will host CSD Macara in Group D of the Copa Sudamericana on August 13, 2026 at 6:00 PM, a match that lands at a moment when every point matters in the group. The game is being carried in the United States on beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS Connect through Fubo, with Fanatiz also offering Spanish-language coverage.
The timing matters because Santos arrive carrying the weight of a 2-0 loss to Athletico Paranaense in Serie A on August 9, a result that left them 15th in the Brazilian top flight and turned the continental match into a quick test of recovery. Neymar missed that defeat because of a suspension, and Cuca said he will hold a private meeting with him, a sign that the issue around discipline has not gone away even as the schedule keeps moving.
Santos still sit second in Group D, so the match is not just about mood or momentum; it affects their position in the competition. Their recent league and continental form has been uneven, with two wins, two draws and one defeat across their last five matches in all competitions, while Macara arrive in better shape after winning four of their last five and beating Barcelona SC 2-1 away from home in their most recent outing.
That makes the search around Santos Vs Macará straightforward: fans want the kick-off time and the viewing options, but Santos also need a cleaner performance than they produced at the weekend. The unanswered question is whether Neymar will be available for the Copa Sudamericana match after the suspension that kept him out of the league defeat, because his status now sits at the center of both the football and the discipline story.
The answer comes when the teams meet at 6:00 PM on August 13, and Santos will have to show whether a continental home match can steady a week that has already exposed their problems.
