Globo Achieved a Major Milestone with Flamengo's Title

The red-black Nation is celebrating the consecutive three-time championship of Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca. However, it's not just the fans who are 'grinning from ear to ear'. Globo, which broadcasted the final against Fluminense, managed to break an audience record in Rio de Janeiro in 2026.

During the decision between Flamengo and Fluminense, Globo peaked at 26 points in Rio de Janeiro, the highest number for that time slot of the year. It is worth noting that the overall record for the network in 2026 was also with a Mengão game, in the 1-0 victory over Vasco, registering 29 audience points.

How Was the Game Between Flamengo and Fluminense?

In a final played in a single match, Flamengo and Fluminense were not in an inspired night. Thus, the score was 0-0 at the end of the 90 minutes. Therefore, the Carioca title was decided by penalties, and with the brilliance of Agustín Rossi, the Red-Black came out on top 5-4.

Is More Audience Record on the Way?

Globo is expected to have another great audience this Wednesday (11th), when Flamengo faces Cruzeiro, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão. The match will kick off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the game between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.

Will Maracanã Be 'Packed' for the Flamengo vs Cruzeiro Game?

Besides the Nation filling the virtual stands, the red-black fans promise to attend 'in full force' at Maracanã for the game between Flamengo and Cruzeiro. This is because more than 40,000 tickets have been sold so far for the Brasileirão match.
