Palmeiras 2026 football season

Entities: Brazil national football team · Luis Guilherme · Abel Ferreira · Sporting Clube de Portugal · Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras

Overview

Palmeiras continued its dominant run into late July. After the senior side’s 4‑0 win that put them atop the Brasileirão, the club entered the 21st round with 47 points, the best tally of the season and a roughly 60 % chance of clinching the title. The team prepared for a Copa do Brasil round‑of‑16 clash with Fortaleza, unveiling a probable line‑up featuring three centre‑backs and the possible return of Flaco López. Defender Gustavo Gómez was confirmed to have a posterior‑thigh muscle injury and missed the upcoming match, while fellow defenders Bruno Fuchs and left‑back Jefté remained under medical care. Ticket sales for the Palmeiras‑Fortaleza fixture reached 33,800. In youth competition, the under‑15 side fell 3‑1 to Internacional in the Copa do Brasil sub‑15 final. The women’s team was slated to meet Internacional in the 14th round of the Brasileirão Feminino on 2 August. Across senior, youth and women’s squads, Palmeiras’ form and squad depth kept it at the forefront of Brazilian football.
