São Paulo v Santos: live stream, referee, kick-off time | OneFootball

Calm down, you didn’t read it wrong. São Paulo and Santos face each other again after Tricolor’s victory in their last clash for the Paulistão, but this time it’s for the Brazilian Championship. The classic will now take place at Vila Belmiro, this Wednesday (4th), at 8:00 PM (Brasília time), for the 2nd round of the National league.

Switching gears to the Brasileirão, Tricolor had a good debut, winning 2-1 at Morumbi against the current champions Flamengo. Meanwhile, Santos, in the midst of a major crisis, suffered a heavy 4-2 defeat to Chapecoense away from home.

WHERE TO WATCH AND REFEREEING

The midweek San-São in Baixada Santista will be broadcast live and exclusively on the pay-per-view channel Premiere.

The Paulistão match was filled with refereeing controversies, and now the classic will be officiated by the always attention-grabbing Anderson Daronco from Rio Grande do Sul, who brings back bad memories for Tricolor fans due to past mistakes. He will be assisted by Rafael da Silva Alves and Tiago Augusto Kappes Diel, also from Rio Grande do Sul. In charge of VAR will be Rodrigo Nunes de Sá from Rio de Janeiro.

While São Paulo comes from two consecutive victories, against Flamengo and Santos themselves, the Vila team is facing a six-match winless streak, with three losses and three draws. They have only won once this year, in the first match of the season, against Novorizontino, who are now leading the Paulistão.

APPEALING TO NEYMAR?

In crisis, which has led to protests with banners from fans at Vila Belmiro and at CT Rei Pelé, Santos lives in anticipation of the return of their great star Neymar, who has not yet debuted this 2026 season after surgery, but lifted spirits by training with his teammates this week. However, he is still not expected to play in this classic.

FULL STRENGTH AND NEW SIGNING IN THE BID

Coach Hernán Crespo wrapped up preparations for the duel this Tuesday (3rd), where he finalized Tricolor’s lineup, which should go with full strength to Baixada.

Announced today as the new signing, right-back Lucas Ramon, who was one of Mirassol’s standouts last season, trained normally with his new teammates this afternoon and has already had his name registered in the CBF’s BID, but will still work on his fitness over the next few days before being available to the Argentine coach.
