It has not been given a national linear television window. In Colombia the game is on Gol Caracol, Canal RCN and Ditu.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Colombia vs Paraguay: what&#8217;s at stake?<\/h2>\n<p>Colombia came out of the World Cup with more credit than most. They topped Group K, beating Uzbekistan 3-1 and DR Congo 1-0 either side of a goalless draw with Portugal, then saw off Ghana 1-0 in the round of 32. The run ended against Switzerland in the round of 16, 0-0 after extra time and 4-3 on penalties &#8212; a tournament exit without a defeat in normal time.<\/p>\n<p>Paraguay&#8217;s summer was harder won. They came through Group D, the section the United States topped, and reached the knockout rounds the long way. What follows for both is the same thing: a new cycle, a short October window, and a coach taking looks at players rather than chasing a result.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second of two for Colombia in the window, after a 1-1 draw with Mexico in Baltimore last Sunday. Paraguay arrive off a 2-0 win away in Bolivia on the same day. Neither has lost since the tournament.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-family:'Bricolage Grotesque',system-ui,-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,sans-serif;border:1px solid #e7e2ec;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;margin:28px 0;background:#fff;\"><div style=\"background:#17121f;color:#fff;padding:14px 18px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap;\"><span style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap;\"><span style=\"font-size:11px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.16em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#b38bff;\">Shop the match<\/span><span style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:600;\">Colombia <span style=\"color:#ffffff80;font-weight:400;\">v<\/span> Paraguay<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:11.5px;color:#ffffff99;\">Official kits via Fanatics<\/span><\/div><div style=\"display:flex;gap:12px;flex-wrap:wrap;padding:16px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatics.93n6tx.net\/c\/2650836\/669352\/9663?prodsku=203487740&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatics.com%2Fsoccer-national-teams%2Fcolombia-national-team%2Fcolombia-national-team-adidas-2026-home-replica-jersey-yellow%2Fo-3601%2Bt-92056935%2Bp-9122032617646%2Bz-9-3303766966&amp;intsrc=APIG_5042&amp;subId1=shop-the-match&amp;subId2=colombia-v-paraguay&amp;subId3=squawka-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" style=\"flex:1 1 170px;min-width:170px;display:flex;flex-direction:column;text-decoration:none;color:#17121f;border:1px solid #e7e2ec;border-radius:10px;padding:12px;background:#fff;\"><span style=\"aspect-ratio:1\/1;border-radius:8px;background:#f6f4f8;border:1px solid #eee;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;overflow:hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fanatics.frgimages.com\/colombia-national-team\/mens-adidas-yellow-colombia-national-team-2026-home-replica-jersey_ss5_p-203487740+pv-1+u-ttfvfuexkywplpygecou+v-ela2hhfl6txbpkp63bpa.jpg?_hv=2&amp;w=300\" alt=\"Men&#x27;s adidas Yellow Colombia National Team 2026 Home Replica Jersey\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:contain;\"><\/span><span style=\"margin-top:11px;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b8496;\">adidas<\/span><span style=\"margin-top:4px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.3;flex:1;\">Men&#x27;s adidas Yellow Colombia National Team 2026 Home Replica Jersey<\/span><span style=\"margin-top:11px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:8px;\"><span><\/span><span style=\"background:#6f00ff;color:#fff;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;padding:7px 13px;border-radius:8px;\">Shop<\/span><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatics.93n6tx.net\/c\/2650836\/669352\/9663?prodsku=203943116&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanatics.com%2Fsoccer-national-teams%2Fparaguay-national-team%2Fparaguay-national-team-puma-2026-home-replica-jersey-white%2Fo-1456%2Bt-25496543%2Bp-8088697658352%2Bz-9-3972212060&amp;intsrc=APIG_5042&amp;subId1=shop-the-match&amp;subId2=colombia-v-paraguay&amp;subId3=squawka-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" style=\"flex:1 1 170px;min-width:170px;display:flex;flex-direction:column;text-decoration:none;color:#17121f;border:1px solid #e7e2ec;border-radius:10px;padding:12px;background:#fff;\"><span style=\"aspect-ratio:1\/1;border-radius:8px;background:#f6f4f8;border:1px solid #eee;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;overflow:hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fanatics.frgimages.com\/paraguay-national-team\/mens-puma-white-paraguay-national-team-2026-home-replica-jersey_ss5_p-203943116+pv-1+u-tero9uu59q9wqwkfz38q+v-spvsa36ygnykplxbj7jr.jpg?_hv=2&amp;w=300\" alt=\"Men&#x27;s PUMA White Paraguay National Team 2026 Home Replica Jersey\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:contain;\"><\/span><span style=\"margin-top:11px;font-size:11px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b8496;\">PUMA<\/span><span style=\"margin-top:4px;font-size:13.5px;font-weight:600;line-height:1.3;flex:1;\">Men&#x27;s PUMA White Paraguay National Team 2026 Home Replica Jersey<\/span><span style=\"margin-top:11px;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:8px;\"><span><\/span><span style=\"background:#6f00ff;color:#fff;font-size:12px;font-weight:700;padding:7px 13px;border-radius:8px;\">Shop<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2>Team news and talking points<\/h2>\n<p>Both squads were in action on September 27 and reconvene on five days\u2019 rest, so rotation is the safest assumption on either side rather than a settled XI. Harrison is as close to a home fixture as a neutral venue gets for Colombia: the New York metropolitan area holds one of the largest Colombian populations in the United States, and the Tricolor have drawn well there before. Paraguay, by contrast, are a long way from home at the end of a week that started in La Paz. The rest of the October window is in our <a href=\"\/us\/news\/internationals\/\">international coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Colombia vs Paraguay prediction<\/h2>\n<p>There is nothing on this beyond information, and that usually suits the side with more of it. Colombia have the better players, the friendlier crowd and the shorter trip. Paraguay have been organised rather than expansive since the tournament, which points at a contained game rather than a loose one.
