Brazilians book their place in the Libertadores, are any spots left? 🧐 | OneFootball

Fluminense made history this Thursday (27th) by defeating São Paulo 6-0 at Maracanã in the 36th round of the Brasileirão.

The final score marks the biggest victory of the Tricolor Carioca over the São Paulo rival and also the longest winning streak for Flu in the history of the national championship.

With the result, Fluminense reached 58 points and rose to fifth place in the standings.

São Paulo remained in eighth position with 48 points.

Thus, with two rounds remaining in the championship, the Tricolor Paulista can no longer reach their Carioca counterpart, as well as Botafogo (58 points) and Bahia (56 points).

Thus, Fluminense and Bahia join Botafogo, Mirassol, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, and Flamengo as the Brazilian representatives in the Copa Conmebol Libertadores 2026.

🤨 What's still at stake?

The Conmebol Libertadores 2026 already has seven Brazilian clubs guaranteed. They are: Flamengo, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, Mirassol, Fluminense, Botafogo, and Bahia.

The first three on the list are already in the group stage, meaning two more will go to this phase and another two will go to the qualifying stages.

However, one more Brazilian club can qualify for the Libertadores 2026 via Brasileirão. For this to happen, we need to turn our attention to the Copa do Brasil.

Thus, if one of the G-7 clubs wins the national tournament, it would open a spot for the Libertadores for the club that finishes eighth in the Brasileirão.

Currently, Cruzeiro (facing Corinthians) and Fluminense (facing Vasco) are the "possible candidates" to turn the G-7 into G-8.
