New pitch and events leave Palmeiras with fewest home games | OneFootball

Palmeiras have two home matches right after the FIFA international break, on October 8 and 11 against Bahia and Corinthians, respectively. Both fixtures will take place at Nubank Parque, both with limited capacity. Still this month, however, Verdão already have a date to leave home again.

Away from home

The clash against Red Bull Bragantino, scheduled for October 24, will take place at Arena Barueri. It will be the 12th time Palmeiras will have to leave their stadium in 2026. The season is already the highest in terms of matches away from Nubank Parque, surpassing 2024, when there were nine such occasions.

Fewer matches even in a ‘perfect’ year

Palmeiras’ season is perfect in terms of the maximum number of home matches, since the team reached the Paulista final, where they won the title, and also made the semifinals of the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil. It is worth remembering that both competitions are decided at a neutral venue. Even so, of the 36 possible fixtures, only 24 will take place at home. So far, 17 matches have already been played. The year in which Verdão hosted the fewest matches at the stadium was 2024: 25 times.

Revenue

Palmeiras have played 28 home matches so far this season and posted net revenue of R$ 35,063,747.22. The budget forecast for 2026 is R$ 62 million. Of this amount, R$ 32,604,785.78 came from revenue in the 17 matches at Allianz/Nubank, while R$ 2,458,961.44 came from the 11 matches in Barueri, three of them with negative net revenue.

Crowd restrictions

To make some matches at Nubank Parque feasible because of events, the solution found has been to restrict capacity in the North End and Upper North due to the stage. This year, there have been four matches with this restriction: Jacuipense (Copa do Brasil), Atlético-MG, Vasco, and São Paulo (Brasileirão). Bahia and Corinthians are also confirmed with restrictions.
