Portuguesa and Palmeiras face each other this Saturday (10) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Canindé Stadium for the debut of the 2026 Paulista Championship.

PORTUGUESA: João Paulo (Eduardo); Sciencia, Biazus, Gustavo Henrique, and Lucas Hipólito; Gabriel Pires, Hudson, Guilherme Portuga, and Marcelo Freitas; Igor Torres and Lohan. Coach: Fábio Matias
PALMEIRAS: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Murilo, Gustavo Gómez, and Piquerez; Emi Martínez, Marlon Freitas, Maurício (Facundo Torres), and Andreas Pereira; Vitor Roque and Flaco López. Coach: Abel Ferreira
Midfielder Marlon Freitas, signed from Botafogo, was introduced this week and was registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the CBF. Therefore, the player may debut wearing Palmeiras' jersey in the Paulista Championship debut against Portuguesa.

The competition will have 11 dates, with eight games in the first phase and one quarter-final, one semi-final, and one grand final match.
The teams were divided into four pots to determine opponents, in a format similar to that adopted by the Champions League, meaning the four big clubs play the three classics and five other games defined by draw.
Palmeiras will face Corinthians, São Paulo, Santos, Novorizontino, Mirassol, Guarani, Portuguesa, and Botafogo in the first phase.
The top eight overall qualify for the quarter-finals – the first faces the eighth, the second faces the seventh, and so on. In case of a tie in the knockout stages, the decision will be on penalties. The last two placed after the eight games of the first phase will be relegated.
