The 2026 women's Copa do Brasil final now has dates, venues and kick-off times. Flamengo and Internacional, two clubs that had never reached this stage, will meet over two legs: the first match is this Wednesday 11 November at 21:30 (Brasília and Buenos Aires time) at the Luso-Brasileiro stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and the return is on Sunday 15 at 16:00 at the Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre.

A draw decided who finishes at home

The order of the legs was settled on Monday with a draw at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) in Rio de Janeiro. As the confederation explained, two balls with the names of both clubs were placed in a single pot and the first one out earned the right to host the decisive leg. Internacional came out first: the Colorado will close the final in front of their fans and Flamengo will open it in Rio. Stadiums and kick-off times were confirmed afterwards, in the detailed schedule published by the CBF.

A first-ever final in a 66-team cup

The 2026 edition brought together 66 clubs from the three national divisions. The early rounds were single matches and, from the quarter-finals onwards, two-legged ties; if a tie is level on aggregate, it goes to penalties. Palmeiras, champions of the 2025 edition, went out early: they lost 1-0 to Corinthians in the third phase, on 30 May.

Neither Flamengo nor Internacional had ever played a final of this cup, so the trophy will have a new owner.

Flamengo's road

The Rio side entered in the third phase, as Série A1 clubs, and beat Liga Sanjoanense 2-0 and Instituto 3B 1-0. In the quarter-finals they knocked out Fluminense in the derby: they lost the first leg 2-1 and won the return 3-1, for a 4-3 aggregate. In the semi-finals they drew 0-0 with Bahia in Salvador and then won 3-2 at the Luso-Brasileiro.

Internacional's road

The Gaúcho side started with a Gre-Nal: 0-0 against Grêmio and a 4-2 win on penalties. They then won 1-0 away at Coritiba. In the quarter-finals they needed penalties again against Atlético Mineiro (1-1 and 0-0; 4-3 in the shoot-out) and in the semi-finals too: they beat Red Bull Bragantino 3-1 at the Beira-Rio, lost the return 2-0 and prevailed 5-4 from the spot.
