Corinthians claim half of Paulistão’s YouTube audience, top rivals

By Henrique Pereira / Central do Timão Editorial Team

The initial phase of the Campeonato Paulista concluded last Sunday with Corinthians' 1-0 victory over São Bernardo FC at the Estádio Primeiro de Maio. Besides securing a spot in the quarterfinals, the team led by Dorival Júnior also boosted impressive numbers off the field, especially in the digital realm.

A survey released by the Timão Números profile indicates that the State Championship broadcasts on CazéTV have already accumulated 101.4 million views on YouTube. Of this total, 47.7 million correspond to Corinthians matches, representing about 47.08% of the channel's entire audience in the competition so far.

Of the 14 broadcasts made by the platform in the Paulistão, five featured the alvinegro club as the protagonist. Among them are the match against São Bernardo (7,674,715 views), the victory over Velo Clube (6,783,547), the defeats to Red Bull Bragantino (7,373,538) and Palmeiras (14,916,581), as well as the draw with Santos (11,019,728).

The most-watched game of the tournament on the channel also featured Timão on the field. The first Derby of the season, held on February 5 and won by the Barra Funda team 1-0, leads the ranking with 14,916,581 accesses. Right behind is the Clássico Alvinegro, which recorded 11,019,728 views on the platform.

Sport Corinthians also stood out by surpassing the audience numbers of other state competitions on YouTube alone. In just five group stage matches, the club accumulated 47.77 million views, surpassing the total of the main state championships from other regions of the country. In the same period, the Campeonato Carioca accounted for 33 million accesses, while the Campeonato Mineiro registered 14.1 million — together, they reached 47.1 million, a number lower than that achieved by the São Paulo team alone.

These numbers are expected to increase in the coming weeks. CazéTV has already confirmed the broadcast of Corinthians' next two commitments: this Thursday, at 7:30 PM, against Club Athletico-PR, at Arena da Baixada, in a delayed match of the second round of the Campeonato Brasileiro; and on Sunday, the 22nd, at 8:30 PM, against Portuguesa, at Estádio do Canindé, for the quarterfinals of the Paulistão.
