Find out when Corinthians are set to debut their new third kit | OneFootball

On Sunday, September 20, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), Corinthians will host Fluminense at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 28th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The match against the Rio de Janeiro side is expected to mark the debut of Timão’s third kit for the 2026/2027 season. The information was first reported by Rádio Coringão and confirmed by Central do Timão.

According to the outlet, the new kit is already being distributed to the club’s official stores, and the official launch is expected to take place next Wednesday, September 16. The blue jersey is a tribute to goalkeeper Tobias, who had a remarkable spell with Alvinegro in the 1970s and wore this exact shirt in the semifinal of the 1976 Brazilian Championship against Fluminense at the Maracanã, where 70,000 Corinthians fans were in attendance.

The event became known as the Corinthians invasion. On that occasion, Timão advanced to the final of the tournament by defeating Fluminense on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time. In nearly three years wearing the Corinthians shirt — from October 1975 to May 1978 — he played 125 matches (118 as a starter), with 67 wins, 29 draws, and 29 losses — a 61.3% success rate. In addition, he won two titles: the Campeonato Paulista (1977) and the Taça Governador do Estado (1977).

Before that, Corinthians will have the two Conmebol Libertadores quarterfinal matches against Argentina’s Estudiantes on September 9 and 16, as well as matches against Chapecoense and Flamengo on the next two Sundays — the 6th and 13th — in the Brazilian Championship. At the moment, Alvinegro sits in 10th place in the Brasileirão with 32 points — eight wins, eight draws, and nine losses — with 26 goals scored and 25 conceded.
