Corinthians end 2026 Libertadores with about R$25.55m in prize money | OneFootball

Corinthians earned US$4.97 million in 2026 Libertadores prize money, about R$25.55 million, as their campaign ended on Wednesday. According to Meu Timao, that figure reflects Conmebol’s awards across the competition.

After a 1-1 first leg in La Plata, they lost 1-0 to Estudiantes at Neo Química Arena on Wednesday. Alexis Castro struck late, then Memphis Depay missed a last-kick penalty that would have forced a shootout.

The earnings began with US$1 million for the group stage, plus US$1.02 million for three group wins. Reaching the last 16 added US$1.25 million, and eliminating Rosario Central to make the quarter-finals brought another US$1.7 million.

Falling short of the semi-finals cost another potential US$2.3 million, roughly R$11.8 million.

Prize money climbs further in the final, with the runners-up to receive US$7 million, about R$35.9 million, and the champions US$25 million, around R$128.5 million. Had Corinthians lifted the trophy, their total could have reached US$32.27 million, close to R$165.87 million.
