São Paulo face tough tests early in the Paulistão, check it out | OneFootball

The start of the 2026 season promises not to be easy for São Paulo. Starting January 11, when they debut for the year against Mirassol, the Tricolor will face a series of games considered difficult in the Paulista Championship.

Tough Sequence

As mentioned above, São Paulo will debut in 2026 against Mirassol on the 11th at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), away from home. The team from the interior of São Paulo is experiencing a magical rise in the elite of Brazilian football and, in their first time in Serie A, secured a spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Then, on the 15th, they will host São Bernardo at Morumbi. The team from ABC Paulista has been making consistent campaigns in the state championship over the past few years, always ranking as one of the best clubs in the first phase.

Finally, two more classics await São Paulo at the beginning of this Paulistão. On the 18th, the Tricolor will visit Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena, where they have a poor track record.

Furthermore, less than a week after the Majestic, São Paulo will have another classic away, this time against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque. The only match against a major Paulista team where the Tricolor will have the support of their fans will be against Santos on the 31st.
