Corinthians among clubs with most official games in last five years | OneFootball

In recent days, the CIES Football Observatory (International Centre for Sports Studies) released a survey of clubs with the highest average number of games per year over the last five years – from November 4, 2020 to November 4, 2025. In this ranking, the Alvinegro appears in ninth place – with an average of 72.4 games per season.

The top ten clubs are all Brazilian football teams, which highlights the overcrowded calendar – state championships, Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil, Sudamericana, and Libertadores – which will undergo changes starting next year, as announced by the Brazilian Football Confederation in recent months. The Brasileirão, for example, will begin in late January and end in December.

The state tournaments will now have only 11 match dates. The Copa do Brasil has increased from 96 to 126 teams, with four phases, and Serie A teams will enter in the fifth stage, with home and away matches, except for the final, which will be a single match.

The leader of the ranking is Flamengo (78.2 games). Behind the Rio team, besides Corinthians, are Palmeiras (77.6) – Athletico-PR (74.6) – São Paulo (73.4) – Bahia (73.2) – Fortaleza (73.2) – Atlético-MG (73) – Corinthians (72.4) and Grêmio (68). On the other hand, in another ranking released by CIES, Alvinegro is the tenth team with the most games in the world – 70 games – from November 4, 2024 to November 4, 2025.

This year, Corinthians won the Campeonato Paulista, against Palmeiras, in Itaquera, were eliminated in the group stage of the Sudamericana, in the preliminary stage of the Libertadores, are mid-table in the Brasileirão, and are in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Cruzeiro in two matches.
