The Copa do Brasil quarterfinals continue this Wednesday (26) with two matchups. While Palmeiras host Santos in the São Paulo derby, Vasco and Vitória face off in search of an advantage for the second leg.
*Brasília time.
Both Copa do Brasil matches this Wednesday (26) will be played at 9:30 PM (Brasília time). At Nubank Parque, Palmeiras take on Santos, while Vasco host Vitória at São Januário. It is worth noting that both return matches will take place on September 2.
In addition to the São Paulo derby and the match between Vasco and Vitória, the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals also feature Cruzeiro vs. Atlético-MG and Grêmio vs. Internacional. In other words, the final stretch of the competition promises to be exciting with state rivalries.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) made adjustments to the Copa do Brasil prize money for the 2026 season. As a result, the competition’s champion can earn up to R$ 99.25 million. This is because the federation will pay R$ 78 million just for the title, in addition to the prizes from the previous rounds.
As in recent years, Flamengo entered the Copa do Brasil in the fifth round to face Vitória. However, the Rubro-Negro side ended up saying goodbye to the tournament in its opening stage. After a 2-1 win in the first leg at the Maracanã, Leonardo Jardim’s team lost 2-0 at Barradão.
Meanwhile, Flamengo continue preparing for their next commitment of the season. On Sunday (30), Leonardo Jardim’s team face Botafogo at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla brings all the details about Flamengo in the 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Botafogo.
