Palmeiras lead for most top-two finishes in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

With the draw between Cruzeiro and Botafogo last Thursday, Palmeiras secured second place in the Brazilian Championship. With the runner-up position assured, Verdão stands out as the club that has finished among the top two in the competition most times.

This is the 17th time Alviverde has finished among the top two in the Brasileirão. Before this season, Palmeiras was tied in the statistics with Santos, which finished in the top 2 of the tournament 16 times.

Out of these 17 times, Verdão won the Brazilian Championship in 12 (1960, 1967, 1967 (Taça Brasil), 1969, 1972, 1973, 1993, 1994, 2016, 2018, 2022, 2023) and finished in second place in another five (1970, 1978, 1997, 2017, and 2025).

This year's runner-up finish, however, marks the end of a season that Palmeiras fans hope to forget. With runner-up finishes and painful eliminations this year, Palmeiras is left without titles for the first time since 2019.

This season, Verdão lost the finals of the Libertadores and the Paulista Championship to Flamengo and Corinthians, respectively. In the Club World Cup and the Copa do Brasil, they were eliminated, in sequence, by Chelsea and Corinthians in the quarterfinals and round of 16 of the tournaments.
