Corinthians seek to extend dominance in Women's Brasileirão final | OneFootball

Corinthians Women head into the 2026 Brazilian Championship final against São Paulo backed by a run that helps illustrate the team’s place in the competition’s history. This Saturday (26), at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, the Brabas begin their bid for an eighth national title and to maintain a dominance built over the last decade.

The qualification for the final, confirmed after a 1-0 win over Bahia, sent Corinthians to their 10th consecutive Brasileirão Feminino final, an achievement that reinforces the club’s consistency in the country’s main tournament. The run began in 2017 and spans different generations of the black-and-white squad.

Of the nine finals already completed in that span, Corinthians won seven titles, a 77.7% success rate in finals. The trophies were lifted in 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The only runner-up finish in that streak came in 2017.

The record turns this Saturday’s final into another chapter in a path of statistical dominance. If they win the championship, Corinthians will reach an eighth Brazilian title, extending their lead at the top of the competition’s all-time rankings. In addition, it would be a seventh consecutive trophy, as the Brabas are the current six-time champions.

This time, the opponent will be São Paulo, in a repeat of the 2024 final. In that showdown, Corinthians won both matches — 3-1 at Morumbis and 2-0 at Neo Química Arena — to claim the title.

Two years later, the teams will once again decide the Brasileirão. São Paulo reach the second final in their history under the competition’s current format and are seeking the first national title of their history in the Brasileirão organized by the CBF since 2019. The club secured its place after eliminating Flamengo 4-1 on aggregate.

Corinthians’ path to the final also included major opponents. In the quarterfinals, the Brabas eliminated Cruzeiro 4-1 on aggregate. In the semifinal, they beat Bahia 2-0, with Jhonson scoring both goals in the tie.

Despite the dominant record, the 2026 final brings something new for Corinthians. In the previous nine finals of this streak, the club hosted the second leg. This time, having had an inferior campaign to São Paulo’s in the first stage, Timão will play the return leg away from home.

The first match will be this Saturday at Neo Química Arena. The second leg is scheduled for October 3, at 4:30 p.m., at MorumBIS. If the aggregate score is tied, the champion will be decided on penalties.
