Flamengo 2026 football season performance

In late October 2026, Flamengo faced a mixed season despite leading the Campeonato Brasileiro with 70 points. While the club held a narrow lead over Palmeiras, commentator Grafite suggested the season might end on a melancholic note due to several major losses, including the Supercopa do Brasil, the Recopa Sudamericana, and an exit from the Copa do Brasil. The club also suffered a semifinal elimination from the Libertadores against Estudiantes, leading management to file a formal complaint with Conmebol regarding player eligibility.

By early November, the club’s outlook shifted toward potential record-breaking achievements. Following a win against Grêmio, Flamengo reached 76 points with four matches remaining. The team is positioned to potentially reach 90 points, which would mark the second-best campaign in the current 20-club format. Additionally, forward Samuel Lino has reached career milestones with 15 goals and 13 assists, earning call-ups to the Brazilian national team.

On November 8, the club's women's team reached the final of the Copa do Brasil Feminina for the first time after eliminating Bahia with a 3-2 aggregate score. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has confirmed the schedule for the final against Internacional. The first leg is set for Wednesday, November 11, at the Luso-Brasileiro Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, with broadcasting available via SporTV, NSports, Xsports, and Lance!TV. The second leg will take place on Sunday, November 15, at the Beira-Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre. The winner of the tournament will receive R$ 1.1 million.

Meanwhile, in the men's league, Flamengo remains at the top of the Brasileirão with 76 points. The club could qualify for the 2027 Supercopa do Brasil by winning the national championship or through specific combinations of results involving Palmeiras and Grêmio.
