São Paulo v Palmeiras: where to watch, kick-off time, referee | OneFootball

São Paulo has a Choque-Rei on Saturday (24) at Arena Barueri! Tonight, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), the Tricolor faces Palmeiras in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Paulista Championship.

São Paulo is in 14th place in the Paulistão, with 4 points in four games. Meanwhile, the rival occupies the 3rd position in the state championship, with 9 points. The classic will have live and exclusive broadcast on TNT (cable TV) and HBO Max (streaming).

WHO'S PLAYING?

“Let's play a good game to come out with the victory. It will be a tough match, but we will fight to take the three points home,” said right-back Maik, who is expected to return to the starting lineup.

Speaking of the starting lineup, Hernán Crespo will not have the attacking midfielder Lucas for the match on Barueri's synthetic field. He wasn't even listed for the classic. See here the probable lineup of São Paulo.

Number 7 suffered two serious injuries facing the green rival on the synthetic field, one in the second half of 2023, in a Brazilian Championship match, and another last year, in the Paulistão semifinal. Meanwhile, the Palmeiras team is also expected to go full strength after suffering a 4-0 defeat in the last round.

HERE HE COMES AGAIN

The match referee is controversial. Matheus Delgado Candançan, of bad memories for the Tricolor fans, will lead the Choque-Rei in Barueri.

Matheus Candançan was responsible for immense outrage from the Tricolor during the 2024 Paulistão, making errors in the classic against Palmeiras, later admitted by the FPF. He has already refereed São Paulo's game against Mirassol in the 2026 state championship opener.

After this weekend's match, the São Paulo team will make its debut in this year's Brazilian Championship: against Flamengo in the opening round. The match will be played next Wednesday (28), at 9:30 PM, at Morumbi. See here the prices and how to buy tickets.

As for the state championship, the Tricolor will face Santos on the 31st (Saturday), at 8:30 PM, also at Morumbi, for the 6th round of the competition.
