Corinthians learn all possible Copa do Brasil last-16 rivals | OneFootball

On Thursday night (14), Corinthians faced Barra, from Santa Catarina, in the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil at Neo Química Arena and won 1-0. Yuri Alberto scored Alvinegro’s goal late in the second half after a pass from midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The victory secured the Corinthians side a place in the round of 16 of the national knockout tournament – 2-0 on aggregate.

Timão earned R$ 3 million for qualifying, added to the R$ 2 million received just for taking part in the fifth round. In the round of 16, the 16 remaining teams in the Copa do Brasil will all be placed in a single pot, meaning any of them can face each other, with the first and second legs also to be drawn. The draw is expected to take place next Tuesday, May 26, at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Granja Comary, Rio de Janeiro.

The following teams will be in the next round: Atlético Mineiro, Athletico Paranaense, Chapecoense, Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Fluminense, Grêmio, Internacional, Mirassol, Palmeiras, Remo, Santos, Vasco da Gama and Vitória – Série A.

The only two Série B teams still left in the competition are Fortaleza and Juventude. According to the CBF calendar, the round of 16 matches will be played on August 1 or 2 (first leg) and August 5 or 6 (second leg).

It is worth remembering that Alvinegro has four Copa do Brasil titles (1995, 2002, 2009 and 2025) and is the current champion of the tournament. In 2025, they beat Vasco da Gama 2-1 at Maracanã Stadium. In total, Timão earned just over R$ 97 million from the title-winning campaign – starting from the third round. Of that total, R$ 77 million came just from winning the final.
