The referee assignments for the sixth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship bring an interesting reunion at Vila Belmiro. The classic match between Santos and Corinthians will be officiated by Flávio Rodrigues de Souza, the same referee from last year's encounter between the teams, also in the Brasileirão, when Peixe won 3-1 at home.

The classic has gained importance due to the situation of the teams. Santos is in 14th place in the Brasileirão, with only one win in five rounds. Corinthians dropped in the standings after losing at home to Coritiba with a performance well below expectations.
In last year's match, Flávio Rodrigues de Souza showed a firm hand and handed out 8 yellow cards during the game. There were five bookings for Corinthians and three for Santos.
In addition to the classic at Vila, the CBF has assigned Anderson Daronco to referee Botafogo vs Flamengo, one of the main matches of the round, while Bruno Arleu will be in charge of the clash between Red Bull Bragantino and São Paulo. Another highlight is the match between Internacional and Bahia, under the command of Fernando Mendes.
The sixth round of the 2026 Brasileirão will also feature João Gobi in Vitória vs Atlético Mineiro, Matheus Candançan in Fluminense vs Athletico Paranaense, Rodrigo Pereira in Palmeiras vs Mirassol, Rafael Klein in Coritiba vs Remo, Lucas Torezin in Cruzeiro vs Vasco da Gama SAF, and Bruno Vasconcelos in Chapecoense vs Grêmio.
