Fluminense set squad return dates for 2026 | OneFootball

After finishing the 2025 season, Fluminense is already working on planning for the next year and has set the date for the players’ return. The Tricolor board has decided to split the squad into two groups as a strategy to prioritize the competitions that kick off at the beginning of 2026.

For the next season, the CBF has made some changes to the calendar. The Campeonato Carioca will start on January 14, and the Brasileirão will also begin earlier, on the 28th of the same month.

Thus, the first group will report back on January 2, consisting of young players for the start of the state tournament. The second group, made up of the starting players, will return from vacation on the 8th of the same month to focus on preparations for the Campeonato Brasileiro. The information was released by the portal Lance!, through journalist Pedro Brandão.

Due to a shorter rest period before the start of the 2026 season, the management of the Time de Guerreiros will allocate some vacation days to the players during the National Teams World Cup in the middle of the year.
