CBF Sets Supercopa do Brasil for Feb. 1 in Brasília as Flamengo Face Corinthians

The neutral-site choice follows CBF inspections that ruled out other cities over pitch and operational concerns.

Overview

  • The Arena BRB Mané Garrincha will be split 50/50 between Flamengo and Corinthians supporters, according to the CBF.
  • The match was moved from the initially targeted Jan. 24 date, triggering state-league rescheduling for games such as Flamengo vs. Portuguesa (Jan. 31) and Corinthians vs. Capivariano (Feb. 1).
  • After considering venues in the Northeast as well as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the CBF selected Brasília, which has hosted the Supercopa multiple times since the competition’s return.
  • The Federação Paulista de Futebol said calendar adjustments tied to the Supercopa allow the 2026 Paulistão final to remain a two-legged tie.
  • The Supercopa is a one-match final between the 2025 Brasileiro champion Flamengo and Copa do Brasil winner Corinthians, serving as an early-season trophy on a neutral field.
