Corinthians bank nearly R$80m from tickets and prizes in H1 2026 | OneFootball

Corinthians wrapped up the first part of the 2026 season with revenue close to R$ 80 million considering only ticket sales and sports prize money. The amount was reached before the break in the calendar for the World Cup and reinforces the importance of the team’s performance on and off the field throughout the semester.

Adding the income earned from ticket sales and bonuses from the campaigns in the competitions played so far, the club accumulated R$ 79.3 million. The trend is for the total to increase in the second half of the year, since Timão is still competing in the Copa do Brasil, the Conmebol Libertadores, and the Brazilian Championship.

The main source of revenue was fan attendance. Corinthians’ home matches generated approximately R$ 45 million in ticket sales. Most of that amount came from matches played at Neo Química Arena, while one of the fixtures played at Vila Belmiro also contributed to the financial result.

Sports prize money, meanwhile, represented around R$ 34.3 million for the black-and-white club’s coffers. The amount includes the Supercopa Rei title, participation in the Campeonato Paulista, and the campaigns so far in the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

The biggest financial return came from the Supercopa Rei, a title that guaranteed Corinthians prize money of more than R$ 11 million. In the Copa do Brasil, the club has already secured amounts for participation and for advancing through the early rounds. In the Libertadores, in addition to the fee for taking part in the group stage, Timão received bonuses for victories and for qualifying for the round of 16.

In addition to the revenue directly linked to sporting performance, Corinthians also has income from sponsorship deals, broadcasting rights, and the use of Neo Química Arena for events and matches. Another factor that could positively impact the club’s finances is the mid-year transfer window, a period in which player negotiations may generate new revenue.

Women’s football also posts million-reais revenue

Corinthians’ women’s football team also posted relevant figures in the first half of the year. The Brabas raised more than R$ 7.2 million from prize money and ticket sales combined.

Unlike the men’s team, most of the revenue came from sporting campaigns. In total, Corinthians Women received around R$ 6.8 million in prize money thanks to the runner-up finish in the Copa das Campeãs, the campaign in the Supercopa do Brasil, and qualification for the next stage of the Women’s Copa do Brasil.

The Copa das Campeãs campaign was mainly responsible for the amount raised, followed by participation in the Supercopa and the bonuses earned in the Copa do Brasil.

As for ticket sales, the Brabas generated approximately R$ 439,000 from home matches. However, some of the games had operating costs higher than the revenue earned from ticket sales. As a result, the net balance of the matches showed a negative result of close to R$ 97,000.

Even in this scenario, the women’s team continues to contribute to the season’s numbers and maintains the expectation of increasing its revenue throughout the second half of the year, with the continuation of national and state competitions.
