Corinthians already guaranteed R$800k in the Women’s Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians wrapped up the first stage of the Brazilian Women’s Championship with a 3-1 defeat to Internacional this Saturday and finished the qualifying phase in second place. Despite the result, the Brabas have already secured R$ 800,000 in revenue related to the competition so far.

Most of that amount comes from the fixed share allocated to participants. For the 2026 edition, the CBF set a payment of R$ 720,000 for each of the 18 clubs involved in the first phase. The figure represents significant growth compared to last year, when each team received R$ 300,000.

The remaining amount earned by Corinthians, R$ 80,000, is tied to broadcast rights. According to the championship’s commercial rules, the home club receives an additional R$ 20,000 when its match is selected as one of the priorities for nationwide broadcast.

In the first phase, four Corinthians matches met that criterion. They were the 2-2 draw with Fluminense on February 20, in the second round, at Neo Química Arena; the 3-1 win over Ferroviária on April 24, in the eighth round, at Fazendinha; the 2-1 victory against São Paulo on May 11, in the 10th round, also at Fazendinha; and the 4-1 rout of Santos on August 9, in the 15th round, at Canindé.

The club’s total earnings could still increase through its knockout-stage run. That will depend, among other factors, on the selection of its home matches for broadcast. The CBF has not yet published the quarterfinal fixture details.

The 2026 Brazilian champion will also receive a bigger prize. The winner will take home R$ 2 million, compared to the R$ 1.8 million paid in the previous season. The runner-up, meanwhile, will receive R$ 1 million, an amount R$ 100,000 higher than the prize awarded to the 2025 runner-up.

The Brabas’ schedule still offers other revenue opportunities. In the Campeonato Paulista, participants will have access to a total of R$ 3 million, including shares and prize money. In addition, the club that wins the state title will receive a bonus of R$ 1.04 million.

In the Women’s Libertadores, on the other hand, the amounts for the 2026 edition have not yet been announced. The expectation is that the continental competition will offer the highest prize money among the tournaments Corinthians will play throughout the year. As a reference, the 2025 title earned the champion US$ 2.05 million, equivalent to approximately R$ 11.08 million.

Now, Corinthians turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship knockout stage. In search of its eighth national title, the team will face Cruzeiro in the quarterfinals. The match dates are still to be confirmed by the CBF, but the second leg will be played with the Brabas as the home side.
