CBF publishes Brasileirão 2026 table with major changes

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has defined the mine map for the 2026 season. The entity published, Monday evening (15), the basic table of the 38 rounds of the Serie A of the Brasileirão, accompanied by the Specific Competition Regulations. The documents bring profound changes that promise to have a direct impact on the football market and the race for continental places. The main novelty makes the movement of athletes between national elite clubs more flexible.

Until the 2025 edition, a player was prevented from playing for another team in the same division if he completed seven matches. Now, the rule has radically changed: the limit has doubled to 12 games. This change responds to a long-standing request from clubs and provides greater leeway for roster adjustments during the championship, allowing underutilized athletes to seek new opportunities even while the tournament is underway.

CBF announces further changes

Another important change concerns the American dream. Brasileirão 2026 will distribute five direct places for the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores. Until this year, only the top four (G-4) had this privilege. The regulations also confirm that the runner-up of the Copa do Brasil will enter the preliminary phase of the continental competition, creating another route of entry.

Kick-off is scheduled for the end of January, on the 28th and 29th. The current champion Flamengo makes its away debut, against São Paulo in Morumbi. Palmeiras, vice-champion in 2025, also starts as a visitor against Atlético-MG. Vasco da Gama travel to face Mirassol, while Botafogo host Cruzeiro and Fluminense meet Grêmio at the Maracanã.
