The club played in this phase of the Copa do Brasil for the first time in 1989, just in the first year the competition was held. However, Timão was eliminated by Flamengo in that edition, after being defeated 2-0 in the first leg in Rio de Janeiro, and winning 4-2 in the return leg. The tournament had the away goal criterion.

Corinthians' recent sequence in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil is encouraging. The team was last eliminated in this phase in the 2016 edition, when it fell to Cruzeiro. Since then, there have been four editions in which the club reached the phase (2018, 2022, 2023, and 2024) and in all of them, Alvinegro qualified.

In 2024, Timão faced Juventude in the quarterfinals of the national competition. After a 2-1 defeat at Alfredo Jaconi, the team won 3-1 at Neo Química Arena, with goals from Romero, Lucas Freitas (own goal), and André Ramalho.

Corinthians is seeking its fourth Copa do Brasil title. The club was crowned champion in the 1995, 2002, and 2009 editions. In addition, Alvinegro Paulista also finished as runner-up in 2001, 2008, 2018, and 2022.
