Brasileirão 2026: São Paulo derby in round two, schedule out | OneFootball

CBF announced, in the dead of night on Monday (15), the release of the basic schedule for next year’s Brazilian Championship, which will begin in January for the first time in 33 years.

The document does not yet include the breakdown of any rounds—not even the first, which is scheduled for midweek on January 28—but it already gives an idea of the commitments each club will face.

For the third consecutive year, São Paulo will finish the tournament playing away from home. This time, the opponent will be Athletico-PR, returning to the first division after spending a season in Série B.

This also means that Tricolor will open the edition playing at home, now against Flamengo.

The scheduling of the classic against Santos for the second round will mean two consecutive matches against their rival, since that game, at Vila Belmiro, is set for midweek on February 4, while the previous weekend Tricolor will host their coastal rival.

At least São Paulo’s schedule in the Brasileirão will not be affected by the three AC/DC concerts at the venue, on February 24 and 28 and March 4: there will be only one coinciding round, the fourth, and in that one, the São Paulo team will visit Coritiba in midweek on February 25.

São Paulo will play nine home games in the first half, when they will also have three stretches of two consecutive away games and one as hosts.

On the other hand, obviously, in the second half there will be ten home matches, with three stretches as hosts and one as visitors.
