How many trophies could Flamengo win in 2026? | OneFootball

Multi-champion in 2025, Flamengo will compete on several fronts next season

The season for Flamengo ended with a highly positive balance. Under the command of Filipe Luís, the red-and-black team finished the year lifting major trophies and maintaining its prominence on both the national and continental stage. With that, 2026 appears on the horizon with several opportunities for new achievements.

Looking ahead to the next calendar, Coluna do Fla presents the list of competitions that could yield up to nine trophies for Flamengo throughout the 2026 season. The year promises important challenges from the very first months, with competitions on different fronts and real possibilities for new titles.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES IN THE SUPERCOPA DO BRASIL?

The Supercopa do Brasil officially opens the national decision calendar. The tournament, played in a single match, brings together the champions of the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil. As the current winner of the Brasileirão, Flamengo awaits the definition of its opponent, which will come from the match between Vasco and Corinthians.

Moreover, the competition represents the first chance at a title in 2026. The streamlined format demands a high level of focus from the opening whistle, making the decisive clash even more attractive.

WHAT ABOUT THE CAMPEONATO CARIOCA?

The Campeonato Carioca is scheduled to begin on January 14. The initial strategy involves using the under-20 squad, since the main group will be on vacation. Thus, the debut will be against Bangu, marking the start of the state campaign.

Even with an alternative plan for the first rounds, the tournament remains important. The competition also serves as a laboratory for young talents and tactical adjustments at the start of the season.

IS ANOTHER BRASILEIRÃO POSSIBLE?

The Campeonato Brasileiro starts on January 28 and promises to be balanced from start to finish. As the current national champion, Flamengo will make its debut away from home against São Paulo, in a traditional Brazilian football clash.

With an extensive 38-round calendar, the competition demands consistency and a strong squad. Therefore, the tournament presents yet another real opportunity for the Rubro-Negro to win a title.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE RECOPA SUDAMERICANA?

The Recopa Sudamericana pits the champions of the Libertadores and the Sudamericana against each other. Having achieved Eternal Glory, Flamengo faces Lanús, from Argentina, in pursuit of another international title.

The first leg will take place on February 19, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in Lanús. The return leg will be on February 26, at the same time, in Rio de Janeiro, promising a grand final atmosphere for the decisive match.

DOES LIBERTADORES REMAIN A PRIORITY?

The only Brazilian club to win the Libertadores four times, Flamengo comes in strong after defeating Palmeiras in the 2025 final. The campaign was marked by intense matches and a high technical level, consolidating Flamengo's continental prominence.

In 2026, the goal remains unchanged: to win yet another trophy in the most important tournament in South America. In this context, the red-and-black tradition reinforces Mengão's favoritism in the competition.

IS THE SIXTH COPA DO BRASIL TITLE ON THE WAY?

Five-time champion of the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo lifted the last trophy in 2024. In the final, the team convincingly beat Atlético-MG, winning 4-1 on aggregate.

Now, the 2026 edition presents a new chance to expand the trophy collection. In short, the knockout format demands efficiency, something the red-and-black club is used to displaying in decisive phases.

DOES THE CLUB WORLD CUP REMAIN A DREAM?

The Club World Cup slipped away by a hair in 2025, when Flamengo was defeated by PSG (FRA) on penalties. Thus, the result postponed the dream of a second world title, but kept the club in the international spotlight.

In addition to the main title race, the tournament features two parallel competitions. In 2025, Flamengo won both the Derby of the Americas and the Challenger Cup, reinforcing its continental strength even against foreign opponents.

In 2026, the goal is once again to repeat the feat. With another run for the Libertadores, the Rubro-Negro will also enter the Club World Cup with the mission of defending its parallel titles and reaffirming its prominence among the teams of the Americas.
