In summary, Flamengo will debut in the Brazilian Championship this Wednesday (28), when they face São Paulo. The match, valid for the first round of the Brasileirão, will take place at Morumbis, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

As the current Brazilian champion, Flamengo is aiming for its tenth national title in 2026. Remember that, just like last year, Filipe Luís has stated that the biggest ambitions for the red-and-black this season are: Libertadores and Brasileirão.
