CBF announced, on the evening of this Monday (15), the basic schedule for the 38 rounds of the 2026 Brasileirão.
The document released by the entity that governs national football only includes the dates of the matches and the home teams.
It’s worth remembering that, after the calendar change promoted by CBF, the 2026 Brasileirão will begin on January 28.
Palmeiras, who finished in second place, will play against Atlético-MG in Belo Horizonte.
Remo, returning to compete in the top tier of national football after more than three decades, will debut against Vitória in Salvador.
Changes in the rules
In addition to the basic schedule, CBF announced changes to the championship regulations.
Now, a player can transfer to another club if they have played a maximum of 12 matches (until 2025, the limit was six).
Another important change is in the number of spots for the Libertadores. Now there are five direct spots for the group stage (until 2025, there were four).
This change confirms that the runner-up of the Copa do Brasil will go to the preliminary rounds of the Libertadores.
