Overview
- Uberlândia clinched the 2026 Brasileirão Série D title on Sunday, September 13, 2026, after drawing 1–1 with ASA at Parque do Sabiá to complete a 3–1 aggregate victory.
- ASA opened the second leg through Michel Douglas before Calazans equalized for Uberlândia in the first half, preserving the two‑goal cushion built by Uberlândia’s 2–0 win in the first leg at Estádio Coaracy Fonseca.
- Both finalists are promoted to Série C for 2027 and Uberlândia’s championship also grants the club direct entry to the third round of the 2027 Copa do Brasil.
- The deciding match drew about 36,500 spectators to Parque do Sabiá, highlighting strong local support and making the finale one of the highest‑attended games of this enlarged edition.
- The 2026 Série D ran from April to September after CBF reforms expanded the field from 64 to 96 teams, increased funding and added promotion playoffs, changes that delivered more matches, bigger purses and new pathways for clubs in Brazil’s football pyramid.
