Women's Copa do Brasil 2026: 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. In this round, 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 Women’s Brasileirão A1. In addition, the 16 teams that won in the second round remain in the competition. Highlighting the tournament’s democratic nature, any of the 32 clubs can face each other.
