So far, São Paulo has three losses, one draw, and only one victory in the 2026 season. With this record, São Paulo stands out negatively as the second-worst performance in the entire Campeonato Paulista, with only 26.7%.

Additionally, the club has already conceded 10 goals in the competition and has the worst defense in the tournament, having conceded three goals in a single match on three different occasions: against Mirassol (3-0), Portuguesa (3-2), and Palmeiras (3-1).

For São Paulo fans, not only is the performance concerning at the start of the season, but also the club's position in the State Championship table, as the Tricolor occupies only the 14th place, outside the qualifying zone for the quarter-finals and bordering the relegation zone, with four points, tied with Noroeste, which opens the Z2.

The sequence for São Paulo doesn't give any breaks, as the club from São Paulo faces Flamengo this Wednesday, debuting in the Brazilian Championship, and then plays another classic in the Paulistão against Santos at Morumbis. Subsequently, they face Peixe again, this time in the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro.

To avoid the danger of relegation and attempt a classification in the State Championship, São Paulo will still have matches against Primavera and Ponte Preta to close the first phase of the competition.
