What is Flamengo’s situation in the Brasileirão?

On the pitch, Flamengo is also going through an important moment in the Brasileirão. The 5-1 thrashing of Mirassol on Sunday (16) took the team to 45 points and cut the gap to Palmeiras, which leads the competition with 48.

In addition, Flamengo still has a game in hand in the Brasileirão, which keeps the fight for first place completely open. The match in question is against Mirassol itself, at the Maracanã, from the fourth round of the championship.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now put the Brasileirão ‘aside’ and shift its focus back to the Libertadores. This Wednesday (19), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruzeiro, at 9:30 p.m. at the Maracanã, in the second leg of the Libertadores round of 16.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of Flamengo’s 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the match against Cruzeiro.

Will Flamengo’s fans ‘pack’ the Maracanã?

With the supporters playing an important role this season, Flamengo returns to the Maracanã to decide its fate in the Libertadores. After a draw at Mineirão, the Rubro-Negro needs a win to advance to the quarterfinals, while another draw will send the decision to penalties.

As a result, Flamengo fans sold out the tickets for the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro this Wednesday (19). In other words, the expectation is that more than 70,000 fans will be at the Maracanã.
