What's New in Carioca 2026

This year's edition of the Campeonato Carioca brings important changes. The competition's trophy will now be called the Taça Apolinho, in honor of the sports journalist who passed away in 2024. Another novelty is the return of cash prizes: the champion will receive R$ 10 million, while the runner-up will get R$ 5 million. There will also be amounts allocated to the teams that qualify for the quarterfinals and semifinals.

Vasco seeks to end the drought

Vasco begins the state championship with the goal of winning the Carioca title again, something that hasn't happened since 2016, ten years ago. Runner-up in the Copa do Brasil in 2025, the team led by Fernando Diniz sees the Carioca as part of the preparation for the 2026 season, but without giving up the ambition for a trophy.
