Flamengo match Palmeiras for top-flight titles as Brazilian champs | OneFootball

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo defeated Ceará on Wednesday night and was crowned champion of the current edition of the Brazilian Championship. With the three national trophies won between 2024 and 2025, the Gávea club equaled Palmeiras in the number of national titles in the elite.

Flamengo reached its 18th national title and caught up with Palmeiras with three significant achievements in Brazilian football: the 2024 Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG, the Supercopa do Brasil against Botafogo in 2025, and now the Brazilian Championship — which they contested with Verdão until the 37th round, concluding this Thursday.

Flamengo, therefore, holds 18 trophies on the national stage. They have nine Brazilian Championships (1980, 1982, 1983, 1987, 1992, 2009, 2019, 2020, and 2025), five Copa do Brasil titles (1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024), three Supercopa do Brasil titles (2020, 2021, and 2025), and one Copa dos Campeões (2001). The club considers the 1987 Brazilian title, although the Supreme Federal Court (STF) recognizes Sport as the champion.

Palmeiras has the same number of achievements as Flamengo in this category, considering only titles in the elite. They have won 12 Brazilian Championships (1960, 1967, 1967, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1993, 1994, 2016, 2018, 2022, and 2023), four Copa do Brasil titles (1998, 2012, 2015, and 2020), one Copa dos Campeões (2000), and one Supercopa do Brasil (2023).

Coach Filipe Luís's team will still have the opportunity to surpass Palmeiras in national titles at the start of the next season. This is because Flamengo will compete in the Supercopa do Brasil in 2026. The Rio team awaits the definition of their rival, which will be the Copa do Brasil champion. Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Fluminense, and Vasco are competing for the trophy.
