FERJ changes Flamengo’s match date and time in the 2026 Carioca | OneFootball

When is the Flamengo vs Portuguesa-RJ game in the 2026 Carioca?

Flamengo will compete in the Supercopa do Brasil on February 1st against Corinthians, in Brasília. Due to this match, the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (FERJ) changed the date and time of one of the Rubro-Negro games in the Carioca.

In the initial schedule of the State Championship, Flamengo had a match scheduled with Portuguesa for January 31st. However, due to the Supercopa do Brasil, the federation rescheduled the clash to January 11th, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).

With this change, Flamengo's schedule at the beginning of the year will have to be adjusted. This is because Mengão's debut was initially set for January 14th (Wednesday) against Bangu. Now, however, the team will take the field for the first time in the 2026 season three days earlier.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SCHEDULE FOR THE 2026 SEASON?

It's important to note that in the first rounds of the Carioca, Flamengo will have an alternative team, filled with young players from the youth categories. The team's ‘structure’ is actually the squad that plays in the under-20. With another match, the Crias do Ninho will have the opportunity to showcase their skills and earn a chance with Filipe Luís for the rest of the 2026 season.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME IN THE 2026 CARIOCA?

With the match brought forward, Flamengo's debut will be against Portuguesa on January 11th. The game kicks off at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the clash with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
