Brasileirão returns to a Flamengo-Palmeiras title race as round 29 begins

Preview

The Brasileirão restarts on Wednesday with Flamengo holding a three-point lead over Palmeiras after 28 rounds. Flamengo have 60 points, Palmeiras 57, Athletico-PR 49 and Fluminense 48.

Round 29 is split across two days. Bragantino–Mirassol, Remo–Grêmio and Internacional–Corinthians all kick off at 19:30 local time on Wednesday.

Flamengo visit Santos on Thursday at 19:30 in Vila Belmiro. Palmeiras host Bahia at 21:30 the same night at Nubank Parque in São Paulo.

A Flamengo slip in Santos would open the door for Palmeiras to draw level on points if they beat Bahia the same night. Both clubs also have Libertadores semi-final first legs on 14 and 15 October.

In short — Flamengo and Palmeiras resume a title battle that may already be decided on Thursday’s two late kickoffs.

Football

The 2026 Copa Libertadores semi-final first legs are now confirmed for 14 and 15 October. Fluminense host Palmeiras at the Maracanã at 21:30 on 14 October.

Estudiantes meet Flamengo on 15 October at 21:30, with the Argentine side’s home venue listed as to be confirmed. The return legs follow on 21 and 22 October.

The return legs are Palmeiras against Fluminense at the Nubank Parque in São Paulo on 21 October and Flamengo against Estudiantes at the Maracanã on 22 October. The final is a single match on 28 November in Montevideo.

All four semi-final matches kick off at 21:30 Brasília time.
