Champions in 1999, 2020, and 2021, Palmeiras is seeking their fourth title, a feat that would be unprecedented in Brazilian football. The winner of the 2026 Libertadores will secure their participation in the Intercontinental Cup of the same year. The team will also secure their spot in the second edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled for 2029.

Runners-up in 2025, Verdão hopes to replicate the campaign and once again reach a spot in the grand final of the most important tournament in America.
