The CBF has appointed Anderson Daronco to referee Flamengo v Mirassol on two September, and Lucas Casagrande for the Remo match on six September.
The remaining officials are yet to be named. Daronco will oversee the delayed fourth-round match at the Maracanã, while Casagrande takes charge of the 26th-round fixture in Pará.
Daronco returns to a Flamengo game after four league rounds. He drew criticism from football director José Boto against São Paulo for allegedly failing to award a Flamengo penalty.
Casagrande last handled Flamengo a year ago, the 3-3 draw with Mirassol in 2025, when the club fielded academy players in the 38th round.
Flamengo sit second on 45 points, six behind Palmeiras, with one game in hand. Beating Mirassol is seen as vital to sustain their title push.
Mirassol and Remo are in the relegation zone. In theory the vice-leaders should find these opponents manageable, and the expectation is that Flamengo can claim six points despite one away trip.
Before those fixtures, Flamengo face Botafogo on Sunday, 30 August, in the league. Kick-off is at 16:00 Brasília time at the Maracanã.
