FERJ changes Flamengo’s match date and time in the 2026 Carioca | OneFootball

When will the Flamengo vs Portuguesa-RJ match take place in the 2026 Carioca?

Flamengo will play in the Supercopa do Brasil on February 1st against Corinthians in Brasília. Because of this match, the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FERJ) has changed the date and time of one of the Rubro-Negro's games in the Carioca.

In the initial schedule of the State Championship, Flamengo had a match set against Portuguesa for January 31st. However, due to the Supercopa do Brasil, the federation moved the clash to January 11th, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time).

With this change, Flamengo's schedule at the start of the year will have to be adjusted. That's because Mengão's debut was originally set for January 14th (Wednesday) against Bangu. Now, however, the team will take the field for the first time in the 2026 season three days earlier.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SCHEDULE FOR THE 2026 SEASON?

It's important to note that in the first rounds of the Carioca, Flamengo will field an alternative team, full of young players from the youth academy. The team's ‘structure’ is actually the squad that plays in the under-20s. With one more match, the Crias do Ninho will have the opportunity to showcase their talent and earn a chance with Filipe Luís for the rest of the 2026 season.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH IN THE 2026 CARIOCA?

With the match moved forward, Flamengo's debut will be against Portuguesa on January 11th. Kickoff is at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with the most rubro-negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
