CBF held the draw for the quarterfinals of the 2026 Copa do Brasil this Tuesday (11), in Rio de Janeiro, which will feature, for the first time since 1989, three state derby matchups. On one side of the bracket, the competition will have Internacional vs. Grêmio and Cruzeiro vs. Atlético-MG. On the other, Vasco vs. Vitória and Palmeiras vs. Santos.

Of these four matchups, two have already decided the tournament before: the Minas Gerais derby, Atlético-MG vs. Cruzeiro, in 2014, when Galo were crowned champions, and the São Paulo derby, Palmeiras vs. Santos, in 2015, when Verdão lifted the trophy.

Historically, all four matchups have already taken place before. Grêmio and Inter have faced each other only once, in 1992, in the quarterfinals, when Colorado advanced on penalties. Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG, besides the 2014 final, met in the quarterfinals in 2019 and 2025, with one win for each side.

In the São Paulo derby, Palmeiras came out on top in both matchups – the 2015 final and the 1998 semifinal. Vitória, meanwhile, eliminated Vasco on three occasions and were defeated only once.
