Corinthians learn all possible Copa do Brasil last-16 rivals | OneFootball

On Thursday night (14), Corinthians faced Barra, from Santa Catarina, in the second leg of the fifth round of the 2026 Copa do Brasil at Neo Química Arena and won 1-0. Yuri Alberto, late in the second half, scored the Alvinegro’s goal after an assist from midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The victory secured the Corinthians side a spot in the national knockout tournament’s round of 16 – 2-0 on aggregate.

Timão earned R$ 3 million for advancing, in addition to the R$ 2 million received just for taking part in the fifth round. In the round of 16, the 16 remaining teams in the Copa do Brasil will be placed in a single pot, meaning any of them can face each other, with draws for the first and second legs. The draw is expected to take place next Tuesday, May 26, at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Granja Comary, Rio de Janeiro.

The only two Série B teams still left in the competition are Fortaleza and Juventude. According to the CBF calendar, the round of 16 matches will be played on August 1 or 2 (first leg) and August 5 or 6 (second leg).

It is worth remembering that Alvinegro has won the Copa do Brasil four times (1995, 2002, 2009 and 2025) and is the current champion of the tournament. In 2025, it defeated Vasco da Gama 2-1 at Maracanã Stadium. In total, Timão earned just over R$ 97 million from the title-winning campaign – starting from the third round. Of that total, R$ 77 million came just from winning the final.
