Dorival Júnior’s side host Red Bull Bragantino on 12 February at 20:00 at Neo Química Arena, then visit Athletico-PR on 18 February at 19:30 at Arena da Baixada, a date isolated due to Supercopa involvement.

March intensifies. Corinthians welcome Coritiba on 12 March at 21:30 in round five, then play their first clássico away to Santos at Vila Belmiro on 15 March at 16:00. They travel to Chapecoense on 19 March at 21:30 and round off the stretch at the Casa do Povo against Flamengo on 22 March at 20:30.

Alongside the league, Corinthians continue in the Campeonato Paulista. On 1 February at 16:00 they face Flamengo at Mané Garrincha in the Supercopa do Brasil, and the season also includes Copa do Brasil and Libertadores commitments.

In 2026 the club aim to improve on 2025’s 13th-place finish with 47 points, while chasing an eighth national title after successes in 1990, 1998, 1999, 2005, 2011, 2015 and 2017. Before the league opener, they visit Red Bull Bragantino on Thursday at 19:30 at Estádio Municipal de Bragança Paulista in the second round of the Paulista first phase.
