São Paulo: only 53% success in last ten Paulistão openers | OneFootball

São Paulo is very close to starting a new season. This Sunday, against Mirassol, the team will make its debut in the Campeonato Paulista and in 2026, away from home. However, the Tricolor’s first game in the competition has not been easy in recent years. 

In the last ten Paulistão debuts, São Paulo has accumulated only 53% success rate, with a record of four wins, four draws, and two losses. 

However, in the last three debuts, São Paulo went unbeaten against their opponents: in 2025 they drew with Botafogo/SP, in 2024 they beat Santo André, and in 2023 they drew with Ituano.

In the same scenario

São Paulo and Mirassol faced each other in the same scenario in 2019, when, in the Paulistão debut that year, the Tricolor hosted the team from the interior of São Paulo and won 4-1. One of the goals for the Morumbis club was scored by Reinaldo, who now plays for Mirassol. Defender Arboleda, a starter in that match, is the only remaining player in São Paulo’s squad. 

São Paulo will make its 2026 season debut this Sunday. The Tricolor visits Mirassol at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia, for the first round of the Campeonato Paulista.
