Flamengo leads the average attendance in the 2026 Brasileirão and has the three biggest crowds in the competition

Flamengo reached the Brazilian Championship break for the September FIFA international window with standout numbers in the stands. After 28 rounds, the club holds the three highest attendances in the competition and leads the league in average attendance.

What were the three biggest crowds of the season?

The highest attendance came in the match against Palmeiras, with 71,205 fans at the Maracanã. Next came the draw with São Paulo, with 70,791 spectators. Then came the 2-1 win over Corinthians, with 70,112 in attendance.

What is Flamengo’s average attendance at the Maracanã?

In 14 home matches in the 2026 Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro has totaled 874,544 fans in attendance, averaging 62,467 per match. As a result, the club remains at the top of the average attendance ranking for the fifth consecutive year.

The survey, carried out by Rubro-Negro itself, starts in 2022. The years 2020 and 2021 are excluded because of the Covid-19 pandemic, when stadiums had limited capacity or were empty.

How has the average attendance changed in recent years?

In 2025, Flamengo averaged 62,287 fans at home, and in 2024, the figure was 54,446. In 2023, however, the average rose to 60,631, while in 2022 it stood at 57,967.

What is the overall attendance ranking for the 2026 Brasileirão?

In the overall competition ranking, Flamengo also leads, with an average of 62,467 fans per match. Behind them are Corinthians (38,086), Bahia (34,587), Cruzeiro (34,131), and Grêmio (29,277).

However, the biggest crowd at the Maracanã this year so far did not come from the Brasileirão. The record came from the NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys (USA) and the Baltimore Ravens (USA) on September 27. A total of 72,792 people attended the American football game.

When does Flamengo return to the field?

Even so, there are still ten rounds left until the end of the Brasileirão, which resumes after the FIFA international window, ending on October 6. The first match is against Santos on the 8th, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 29th round.
