2027 →

The 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A will be the 70th season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top level of professional football in Brazil, and the 24th edition in a double round-robin since its establishment in 2003. The competition will begin on 28 January and will end on 2 December 2026.[1]

The top five teams as well as the 2026 Copa do Brasil champions and runner-up will qualify for the Copa Libertadores, a change from previous years when six teams and only Copa do Brasil champions qualified.[2] Meanwhile, the next six best-placed teams not qualified for Copa Libertadores will qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, and the last four will be relegated to Série B for 2027.

Flamengo are the defending champions, having won their ninth title in the previous season.

Teams

Twenty teams will compete in the league: the top 16 teams from the previous season and four teams promoted from the Série B.

Coritiba became the first club to be promoted on 15 November 2025, after a 0–0 home draw against Athletic-MG.[3] Athletico Paranaense, Chapecoense and Remo all achieved promotion in the last round, on 23 November.[4] Athletico Paranaense and Coritiba returned to Série A after one and two seasons, respectively, Chapecoense last competed in 2021, and Remo returned to the top flight after a 32-year absence.[5]
