São Paulo v Botafogo: how to watch and kick-off for U20 opener | OneFootball

São Paulo makes its debut this Friday (20th), at 3:00 PM (Brasília time), at CFA Laudo Natel in Cotia, for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, against Botafogo. The runner-up team of the Copinha resumes activities for the 2026 season.

The Tricolor’s opening match at the youth level will be broadcast live and exclusively on SPFC Play, with free admission for fans in Cotia.

Current two-time champions of the Under-20 Brazil Cup and runners-up of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup, the Tricolor now seeks its first-ever title in the national league for this category — in 2021, they finished as runners-up.

The competition brings together 20 teams, who face each other in a single round. After 19 rounds, the top eight teams advance to the knockout stage. The novelty in this edition is that the champion will secure a spot in the Under-20 Supercup, facing the winner of this season’s Under-20 Brazil Cup.
