See who’s relegated, Libertadores qualifiers and Copa Sul-Americana spots | OneFootball

The 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro ended this Sunday in an afternoon full of excitement. With the title already secured by Flamengo, the battles took place elsewhere on the table, such as the Z4 and G8, for example. Check out the relegated teams, those qualified for the Libertadores, and those guaranteed a spot in the Sudamericana below.

Relegated Teams

The Ceará duo, Ceará and Fortaleza, suffered the last two relegation spots in the Brasileirão. At the start of the round, five teams were still trying to escape the drop. Vozão lost to Palmeiras 3-1 and finished in 17th place, totaling 43 points—one less than Internacional, the first team to escape the Z4.

Leão do Pici, meanwhile, ended the competition in 18th place, also with 43 points, after losing in a comeback to Botafogo 4-2. Rounding out the Z4 are the previously relegated teams Juventude (35 points) and Sport (17 points). Thus, three of the four relegation spots were occupied by teams from the Northeast.

Qualified for the Copa Libertadores

Seven teams will compete in the 2026 Libertadores, with five of them entering directly into the group stage. Flamengo—Brazilian champions (79 points)—by winning the Copa Libertadores, opened up a fifth spot in the continental tournament's group stage. Thus, entering this phase are: Palmeiras (76 points), Cruzeiro (70 points), Mirassol (67 points), and Fluminense (64 points).

Now, Botafogo (63 points) and Bahia (60 points) will compete in the Libertadores playoffs. There is a possibility that São Paulo, in eighth place with 51 points, could go to the preliminary phase of the competition. This will only happen if Fluminense or Cruzeiro wins the Copa do Brasil.

Guaranteed in the Copa Sudamericana

In addition to the São Paulo Tricolor, the following teams are guaranteed a spot in the Copa Sudamericana: Grêmio (49 points), Red Bull Bragantino (48 points), Atlético-MG (48 points), Santos (47 points), and Corinthians (47 points). Timão could secure a Libertadores spot if they win the Copa do Brasil.

Vasco da Gama, in 14th place with 45 points, is already at least in the Copa Sudamericana. This is because if Fluminense, Cruzeiro, or Corinthians wins the Copa do Brasil, a new continental spot opens up, reaching Cruzmaltino. And, since they are also competing in the national cup, if they win, they will go to the Libertadores.

The only two teams that will not participate in any continental tournament are Vitória (45 points) and Internacional (44 points).
