Palmeiras to host early 2026 Paulista in Barueri as Allianz Parque pitch is replaced | OneFootball

Palmeiras will open their Paulista campaign as hosts away from Allianz Parque, facing Santos on Wednesday 14 at Arena Crefisa Barueri.

According to Nosso Palestra, since 2015 the club have staged 51 home fixtures away from their stadium, recording 36 wins, six draws and nine defeats.

Pacaembu has been the most used venue in that span with 26 matches, while Arena Barueri has hosted 16. Most relocations were due to concerts.

All first-phase Paulista home games will be played at Arena Crefisa Barueri, as Allianz Parque undergoes a synthetic turf replacement scheduled to finish in the final week of February 2026.

Palmeiras and WTorre opted to replace the surface. In 2025, cork and sand were removed along with the synthetic pitch, work paused for pre-booked events then resumed in January to complete further stages.

The expectation is to return to Allianz Parque in the sixth round of the Brasileiro, against Mirassol on 15 March. The team are set to play their first two home matches of the competition in Barueri, against Vitória and Fluminense, per the CBF schedule. If they reach the Paulista finals, a return could come earlier.
