It’s Pride of the Nation game day! This Saturday (18), Flamengo takes on Bauru at the Panela de Pressão Gym, in the countryside of São Paulo. Tip-off is at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), for the first round of the 2025/26 Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
The match between the Rio and São Paulo teams will be broadcast live on ESPN and SporTV, both on pay TV. In addition, Flamengo TV will show the clash on YouTube. Lastly, Coluna do Fla will post the result and highlights of the game on its website and social media.
Seven-time NBB champion, Flamengo sees this away fixture as an opportunity to start strong in the fight for another title. It’s worth noting that, despite being the most successful club in the tournament’s history, Mengão hasn’t lifted the trophy for four seasons, since the 2020/2021 edition.
Flamengo comes in on a high, having recently won the Opening Tournament of the NBB. In early October, the Pride of the Nation beat Minas 86–68 at Nilson Nelson, in Brasília.
Round: 1st round Date: 10/18/2025 (Saturday) Time: 5 p.m. (Brasília time) Venue: Panela de Pressão Gym, Bauru-SP
