Flamengo and Palmeiras already assured of 2027 Libertadores places

Flamengo e Palmeiras já têm presença matemática na Copa Libertadores de 2027. A confirmação veio antes mesmo da 32ª rodada do Brasileirão e assegura aos dois clubes uma vaga no principal torneio de clubes da América do Sul.

O resultado é fruto de campanhas consistentes ao longo do ano. Com apenas um ponto de diferença na tabela, os dois travam a corrida pelo título: o Flamengo voltou à liderança e chegou aos 70 pontos ao vencer o Atlético-MG no Maracanã, por 3 a 2, nesta segunda-feira (26 de outubro). Quem vem logo atrás é o Palmeiras, segundo colocado, com 69 pontos — um a menos que o rival carioca.

A vaga assegurada, porém, não encerra a conta: os dois ainda precisam confirmar a vaga direta no grupo. O regulamento do Brasileirão de 2026 dá fase de grupos direta aos quatro primeiros, com o quinto caindo na etapa preliminar.

No caso palmeirense, há ainda o peso da decisão continental de 2026: o Verdão tem marcado o duelo com o Estudiantes, da Argentina, para sábado, 28 de novembro, no Centenário, em Montevidéu.

O duelo, definido dentro de campo, segue cercado por disputa jurídica. O Flamengo, eliminado pelo Estudiantes na semifinal, questiona se a escalação de Marcos Rojo foi regular e busca nos tribunais esportivos a reversão do resultado.

Se for campeão continental, o Palmeiras assegura presença garantida no grupo da Libertadores de 2027, sem precisar da posição final no Brasileirão.

Enquanto as definições da competição continental não saem, os dois seguem focados no Brasileirão: faltando seis rodadas, o Rubro-Negro lidera com 70 pontos, um a mais que o Verdão.
