2026 Women’s Copa do Brasil: draw sets 3rd-round ties

On Friday afternoon (15), the CBF held the draw for the third round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil, defining the 16 matchups and home-field assignments. At this stage, the ties are still single-leg knockout matches. The date set by the CBF for this round is May 27.

The third round is marked by the entry of the 16 clubs from the Brasileirão Feminino A1. In addition, the 16 teams that won in the second round remain in the competition. Highlighting the tournament’s democratic nature, all 32 clubs can face one another.
