Globo sets ratings record as Flamengo beat Fluminense in 2026 | OneFootball

Globo Achieved a Major Milestone with Flamengo’s Title

The Red-Black Nation is celebrating the third consecutive championship of Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca. However, it’s not just the fans who are ‘grinning from ear to ear’. Globo, which broadcast the final against Fluminense, managed to break the audience record in Rio de Janeiro in 2026.

During the showdown between Flamengo and Fluminense, Globo reached a peak of 26 points in Rio de Janeiro, the highest number for that time slot this year. It’s worth noting that the network’s overall record in 2026 was also set during a Mengão match, in the 1-0 victory over Vasco, registering 29 audience points.

How was the match between Flamengo and Fluminense?

In a final played as a single match, Flamengo and Fluminense were not particularly inspired that night. As a result, the score remained 0-0 after 90 minutes. Thus, the Carioca title was decided by penalties and, thanks to the brilliance of Agustín Rossi, the Red-Black side came out on top, winning 5-4.

Are More Audience Records on the Way?

Globo is set for another big audience this Wednesday (11th), when Flamengo faces Cruzeiro in the fifth round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

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

Will Maracanã Be ‘Packed’ for Flamengo vs Cruzeiro?

In addition to the Nation filling the virtual stands, the Red-Black fans promise to show up in force at Maracanã for the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro. That’s because over 40,000 tickets have already been sold so far for the Brasileirão match.
