São Paulo off to their best Brasileirão start since 2011 | OneFootball

São Paulo is experiencing its best start to the Brazilian Championship since the 2011 campaign. The Tricolor Paulista enters the sixth round of the national competition without knowing what it is to lose.

So far, the team has four wins and one draw, maintaining its unbeaten run in the tournament and sitting at the top of the table with 13 points. This performance represents the best start for São Paulo in the Brasileirão in the last 15 years.

The last time the club started the championship so strongly was in 2011, when it won the first five games of the competition. That season, the perfect streak was only interrupted in the sixth round.

Overall, the start of 2026 also stands out in the club's history in the Brasileirão. The current campaign represents São Paulo's second-best start in the era of the points system, tied in points with the 2004 season.

The tiebreaker is in goal difference: while the 2004 team had four, the 2026 team has six.

Historic Milestone

The victory over Chapecoense in the last round was São Paulo's 400th win in the history of the competition in the era of the points system (2003-2026). The Tricolor was the first club to reach this milestone.

In second place in this ranking is Flamengo, with 399 wins, and Palmeiras is third with 377.
