Corinthians end first half with Brasileirão’s 2nd-best attendance | OneFootball

Corinthians finished the first half of the 2026 season among the clubs with the biggest fan presence in the stands of the Brazilian Championship. After 18 rounds, Timão sits in second place in the ranking for average home attendance in the national competition.

In the nine Brasileirão matches played at Neo Química Arena, the black-and-white club welcomed 316,791 fans. The number represents an average of 35,199 people per match, trailing only Flamengo, which leads the survey with an average of more than 60,000 fans per game.

In addition to being second in total attendance, Corinthians also stands out when the criterion analyzed is stadium occupancy. The Fiel has the best occupancy rate in Série A so far, with an average of 78.32% of the available capacity at Neo Química Arena filled in its league matches.

That figure puts the São Paulo club ahead of teams such as Flamengo and Vasco da Gama, which appear just behind in the stadium occupancy ranking.

On the field, however, the team’s home performances still do not fully reflect the support coming from the stands. In nine home matches in the Brasileirão, Corinthians earned 14 of a possible 27 points. The campaign includes four wins, two draws, and three losses, resulting in a success rate of approximately 52%.

In the overall Brazilian Championship standings, Timão ended the first part of the season in 10th place, with 24 points from 18 rounds. The team coached by Fernando Diniz now enters a break due to the World Cup and will return to official matches only at the end of July.
