The BBC will show seven remaining games from the Copa Libertadores, including both semi-finals and the final.
The first to be shown is the quarter-final second-leg tie between Nacional and 2019 runners-up River Plate at 00:30 GMT on Friday, 18 December.
The second leg of the all-Argentine last-eight tie between Racing and Carlos Tevez's Boca Juniors is live at the same time on Thursday, 24 December.
Both will be on the BBC Sport website, Red Button and iPlayer.
The Copa Libertadores is South America's equivalent of the Champions League, featuring the most successful sides from across the continent.
Like most football across the globe this year, its schedule has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, with the tournament suspended after matchday two of the group stage before resuming on 15 September.
There is a special poignancy this year with one of the competition's most decorated sides, Boca Juniors, competing shortly after the death of their former player and football icon Diego Maradona.
River Plate have also recently lost a prominent former player in Alejandro Sabella, who, like Maradona, is also an ex-Argentine international player and coach.
The holders of the Copa Libertadores are Brazilian side Flamengo, who were knocked out in the last 16 by Racing.
Three other Brazilian sides remain in the competition - Gremio, Santos and Palmeiras - with the first two meeting each other in the quarters.
Uruguayans Nacional are top of their domestic league.
Paraguayan side Libertad - who face Palmeiras - complete the list of the last eight.
The final of the tournament will be held on 30 January 2021 at the famous Maracana in Rio, Brazil.
Copa Libertadores quarter-finals (all times GMT)
1st leg 2nd leg
Gremio (Bra) v Santos (Bra) 1-1 16 Dec (22:15)
River Plate (Arg) v Nacional (Uru) 2-0 18 Dec (00:30)
Libertad (Par) v Palmeiras (Bra) 1-1 16 Dec (00:30)
Racing (Arg) v Boca Juniors (Arg) 17 Dec (00:30) 24 Dec (00:30)

Bit late with the head up but the second leg between Boca v Racing Club is about to start. Despite Boca being heavy favourites at the bookies I quite fancy Racing to go through.

Are the semi finals not two leg affairs, Salton?
The draw has worked out very nicely. We could see an all Brazilian final, an Argentina - Brazil final or even a repeat of the 2018 Boca v River Clasico.

Probably shouldn`t be surprised but the amount of play acting and rolling about time-wasting last night was unreal after Santos went ahead. Thought that aspect may have improved without any fans there.A shame really as occasionally some decent football broke out.

I'm pretty sure there was some stats after the bundesliga restarted last year, that the amount of fouls awarded were significantly less without fans.

D'you not think that might be down to referees not being influenced to give free kicks by loud howls from the fans, every time one of their team falls over?

Boca Juniors have won the inaugural Diego Armando Maradona Cup by beating Banfield 5-3 on penalties.
Maradona died in November and Argentina renamed its League Cup in honour of the great, who was a former Boca player.

Santos v Palmieras 8pm Final on BBC web site ,bbc iplayer and the red button
Palmeiras and Santos meet on Saturday in only the third all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores final - a match you can watch live on BBC Sport.
The game, which kicks off at 20:00 GMT at Rio's Maracana is being streamed on the BBC Red Button, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app from 19:50.
Santos have won South America's version of the Champions League three times - in 1962, 1963 and 2011. Palmeiras' only title came in 1999.
The final will be behind closed doors.
It was meant to be played on 21 November but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The winners will qualify for the Fifa Club World Cup, which takes place next month in Doha, Qatar.
Palmeiras, who have been transformed since Abel Ferreira took over as manager in October, squeezed through against River Plate in the semi-finals. They won the first leg 3-0 in Argentina before riding their luck in the second leg, losing 2-0 and River having a goals disallowed and being denied two penalty appeals.
Santos beat Boca Juniors 3-0 after drawing the first leg 0-0 in Buenos Aires.
The teams, who both play in Sao Paolo state, are both in poor form domestically, with no wins in their past three Brazilian Serie A games.
Striker Gabriel Veron, 18 and a reported target for Manchester City and Manchester United, has scored three goals in Palmeiras' run to the final.
His Brazil team-mate in the 2019 Under-17 World Cup win, Kaio Jorge, is a regular in the Santos team - and has been strongly linked with Real Madrid.

Cheers for the heads up, Salton.
I'm thinking it'll be mid afternoon in Rio and it's midsummer? The organisers weren't going to put the players through that for the benefit of European TV viewers. Money talks, huh?
