See how Corinthians can clinch a Libertadores spot | OneFootball

The season for Corinthians is nearing its end. However, the club from Parque São Jorge is still aiming to achieve a goal set at the beginning of the year: securing a spot in the 2026 Libertadores. The team has three possible paths to reach this goal.

Via Brasileirão

The Timão can secure the classification through the Brazilian Championship. However, to do so, the team would need to string together a series of victories in the last four rounds of the tournament.

Corinthians currently occupies the tenth position on the table, with 45 points. The gap to the G7 is eight points. Therefore, the alvinegro team would need to close this gap in the final stretch of the competition.

Via Copa do Brasil

Another possibility, through the Copa do Brasil, allows Dorival Júnior's team to depend solely on their own strength. The team, which is about to play in the tournament's semifinal, secures a spot in the next Libertadores if they win the title.

The semi-final will be against Cruzeiro. The matches will be held on December 10 and 14. Corinthians will start the duel in Belo Horizonte and finish at home, at the Neo Química Arena.

Cheering for G8

If they do not manage to finish among the top seven, Timão will try to at least secure the eighth place. This is because, if they do not win the Copa do Brasil, the team can hope for a club that is in the qualifying zone (currently, Cruzeiro or Fluminense) to open up another spot. In this case, the G7 would become G8.

The race for the eighth position is fierce. Besides Corinthians, Red Bull Bragantino, São Paulo, Atlético-MG, Grêmio, Vasco, and even Ceará are competing for the spot.
