Overview

  • Brazil’s federation confirmed the single-match Supercopa at Mané Garrincha on Feb. 1 with equal ticket allocation for both fan bases.
  • The date was moved from Jan. 24, prompting rescheduling of state fixtures for Flamengo and Corinthians after Brasília was chosen over other venues due to pitch conditions.
  • CBF’s 2026–2029 overhaul trims state tournaments to 11 dates, starts the Série A on Jan. 28, and sets a single-match Copa do Brasil final on Dec. 6.
  • The São Paulo federation kept the Paulistão final as a two-leg series on Mar. 4 and 8, enabled by the national calendar adjustments and earlier state kickoffs.
  • FIFA’s 48‑team World Cup runs June 11–July 19 across the U.S., Canada and Mexico with mandatory hydration breaks at 22 minutes of each half and long travel distances such as Vancouver–Miami (about 4,507 km).
