After defeating São Paulo last Saturday, Palmeiras has already shifted its focus to the Brazilian Championship. The club will make its debut in the competition on Wednesday.

The first challenge will be against Atlético-MG, away from home. The ball will roll on the pitch at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte, starting at 7:00 PM (Brasília time).

Verdão is looking to start the national league on the right foot after being frustrated in 2025. The club fought for the trophy until the final rounds, but stumbled in crucial matches and saw Flamengo finish as champions. Even with 76 points, the Alviverde fans were upset with the runner-up finish.

No rest!

After visiting Atlético-MG, Palmeiras will have another trip to make. On Sunday, at 8:30 PM, Abel Ferreira’s team faces Botafogo-SP at Arena Nicnet Eurobike, in Ribeirão Preto (SP), for the sixth round of the Campeonato Paulista.

Verdão is in a comfortable position in the State Championship, with 12 points from five matches. A victory against Tigre could practically guarantee the club a spot in the quarterfinals.
