2026 prize money ranking, Flamengo pull clear, Cruzeiro climb to sixth | OneFootball

Flamengo sit top of the 2026 prize money ranking, pulling clear of Corinthians, while Cruzeiro make the biggest jump after their Libertadores group campaign.

According to Globo.com, Cruzeiro’s second place in their group yielded R$ 16.5 million, the same amount Corinthians, second overall, and Palmeiras, fourth, earned in the group stage. That haul lifts Cruzeiro from eighth to sixth and to R$ 21.5 million for the season.

Flamengo have amassed R$ 49.6 million in 2026. Corinthians stand on R$ 33.3 million, the gap growing by five million since the previous update.

The top six are all Brazilian sides still in the Libertadores. Alongside the four already cited, Fluminense are third and Mirassol fifth, both beyond R$ 20 million. Mirassol were the second biggest earners from the continental competition after winning four of their six matches.

Totals reflect prize money from the Libertadores, Sudamericana, Recopa, Copa do Brasil, Supercopa, regional and state tournaments. The ranking covers first-division state competitions and events organised by CBF, Conmebol and Fifa.
