CBF reveals details of Corinthians' 2026 Copa do Brasil fifth-round tie | OneFootball

Throughout the afternoon this Wednesday (1), the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) announced the details of the matches for the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil. As a result, Corinthians learned the dates and times of the two clashes against Barra, from Santa Catarina. It is worth remembering that the Alvinegro are the reigning champions and have four titles in the national knockout tournament (1995, 2002, 2009 and 2025).

The first match between the teams will take place next April 21, Tuesday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Ressacada, Avaí’s stadium, since Barra Arena does not meet the minimum capacity requirements for this stage of the competition. The match will be broadcast by Amazon Prime, the streaming platform.

The second game, meanwhile, will take place on May 14, Thursday, at 7:30 pm, at Neo Química Arena. The match will also be broadcast by Amazon Prime. The club from Parque São Jorge, like the other 19 Série A teams, enters the competition in the fifth round. Barra, meanwhile, got past América-MG and Volta Redonda in the first two rounds.

Central do Timão prepared a special article about this unprecedented opponent in Corinthians’ history. In the last edition of the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians won the title by winning eight of the 10 matches, along with one draw and one defeat — 12 goals scored and three conceded. In their run in the competition, the Corinthians side, coached by Dorival Júnior, eliminated: Novorizontino (third round), Palmeiras (round of 16), Athletico-PR (quarterfinals), Cruzeiro (semifinals) and Vasco da Gama (final).
