With the qualification of Fluminense, achieved on Monday night, the semifinals of the 2026 edition of the Campeonato Carioca are complete. In addition to the tricolor team, Vasco, Fluminense, and Madureira continue in the race for the title. Botafogo, on the other hand, will play in the Taça Rio.
Unlike the quarterfinals, decided in a single match, the semis will be played in home-and-away matches. The clashes are scheduled for the next two weekends (February 21/22 and February 28/March 1). The details have not yet been confirmed by the Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (Ferj). Fluminense and Madureira will play the second leg at home as they were better placed in the group stage.
