Flamengo gear up for second of four matches at the Maracanã | OneFootball

Flamengo faces Palmeiras on Saturday (23)

Currently, Flamengo is preparing for its next commitment of the 2026 season. On Saturday (23), the Most Beloved takes on Palmeiras in the 17th round of the Brasileirão. This will also be the second of four straight matches at the Maracanã.

In short, in May, Flamengo will go through a true marathon of matches at the Maracanã. That is because, as mentioned earlier, the Rubro-Negro will have four straight home games. Among them, two are for the Brasileirão and two for the Libertadores.

The first of them, in fact, was last Wednesday (20), when Flamengo beat Estudiantes (ARG) in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. Now, the Most Beloved is preparing for the second of four straight matches at the Maracanã in this stretch of the season, against Palmeiras, for the Brasileirão.

And what are the details of Fla's next match?

Flamengo and Palmeiras face off starting at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday (23). The match, valid for the 17th round of the Brasileirão, takes place at the Maracanã, with live broadcast on Premiere via pay-per-view.

The match is even being considered an early final, since it features the top two teams in the Brasileirão standings. While Palmeiras leads the league with 35 points, the Most Beloved is in second place with 31.

With that, if Flamengo beats Palmeiras, the team will move to just one point behind the lead with a game in hand over the São Paulo side. That is because the CBF postponed Fla's fourth-round clash with Mirassol and, so far, has not rescheduled the match.
