CBF sets out timetable for talks on new Brazilian football rules for 2027 | OneFootball

At the start of the evening last Thursday (16), the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) detailed the schedule of monthly meetings with clubs from Série A and Série B of the Brazilian Championship aimed at drafting the new regulations for Brazilian football for the 2027 season. Last week, the national entity also announced that it will meet with the teams to discuss the implementation of the new IFAB rules, which are already being applied at the 2026 World Cup — one of them is the Vini Jr law.

The first meeting will take place on August 10 and will address refereeing. Then, on September 14, the main topic of the meeting will be competition organization. Almost a month later, on October 13, the agenda will cover licensing and infrastructure issues. On November 9, the focus will be procedures for holding matches and, finally, on December 7, the topic will be oversight, governance, and integrity.

The changes are inspired by the governance and management models of international championships studied and analyzed by the CBF in meetings held in Europe and during the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, where each club sent a representative from its board.

According to the statement released by the CBF, “the initiative continues the dialogue opened in April, in Rio de Janeiro, when the CBF and clubs from Série A and Série B began debating the creation of the Brazilian Football League. On that occasion, the priority areas for strengthening Brazilian football were identified — including the calendar, playing time, stadiums, broadcasting, the clubs’ financial sustainability, and regulation governance.”

Corinthians will officially return to the pitch next Thursday (23), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Remo at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 19th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. Timão is currently in 10th place with 24 points — six wins, six draws, and six losses — with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded. In addition to the national tournament, Timão will play in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil and the Conmebol Libertadores in the second half of the season, against Rosario Central-ARG and Internacional, respectively.
