Corinthians make it six unbeaten, longest run in 2026 Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians are going through their most consistent spell in the 2026 Brazilian Championship. On Sunday night (9), Timão beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-0 at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques in the 22nd round of the competition, extending their unbeaten run in the national tournament to six matches.

The team coached by Fernando Diniz has not lost in the Brasileirão since May 17, when they were beaten 3-1 by Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium. Since then, Alvinegro have recorded four wins and two draws, establishing their longest unbeaten streak in this edition of the championship.

The turnaround began a week after the defeat in Rio de Janeiro. On May 24, Corinthians hosted Atlético-MG at Neo Química Arena and won 1-0. In the following round, before the break for the World Cup, Timão traveled to Porto Alegre and beat Grêmio 3-1.

Corinthians resumed their Brazilian Championship campaign on July 23. At home, the black-and-white side beat Remo 3-0 and claimed their third straight win during the unbeaten run.

In the next two matches, Timão picked up two points. First, they drew 1-1 with Bahia away from home. Then they were held to a 0-0 draw by Athletico-PR at Neo Química Arena.

The sixth game without defeat came this Sunday. Against Red Bull Bragantino, Corinthians scored through Rodrigo Garro and Pedro Raul to secure a 2-0 win and return to taking all three points after two consecutive draws in the Brasileirão.

Timão climb the standings

In addition to extending the unbeaten run, the victory in Bragança Paulista also had a direct impact on Corinthians’ place in the table. Timão reached 32 points from 22 matches, with a record of eight wins, eight draws, and six defeats. The team has also scored 24 goals and conceded 20.

With the three points earned this Sunday, Corinthians moved into seventh place, overtaking Atlético-MG, Coritiba, Botafogo, and Red Bull Bragantino themselves. The rise in the standings allows the club to pull away from the lower part of the table and move closer to the fight for a place in the 2027 Copa Libertadores.

Best run since 2024/25

Although it is Corinthians’ longest unbeaten spell in the current Brasileirão, the run is still far from the last major streak the club built in the competition.

Between October 2024 and April 2025, Alvinegro went 12 consecutive matches without defeat in the Brazilian Championship. The surge began with a 2-2 draw against Internacional in October 2024 and stretched through the rest of that edition into the first matches of the following championship.

During that period, Corinthians put together an important turnaround in the 2024 season, moved away from the relegation battle, and ended the year by securing qualification for the Copa Libertadores. Now, in 2026, Timão are once again trying to use a positive run to gain ground in the standings and move closer to the top positions.

After the Brazilian Championship victory, Corinthians now shift their focus to the Conmebol Libertadores. Next Thursday (13), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, Timão will visit Rosario Central of Argentina at the Gigante de Arroyito for the first leg of the continental competition’s round of 16.
