The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released this Friday (25) the detailed schedule for rounds 19 to 22 of the Brazilian Championship . In this sequence, Flamengo will have a favorable calendar , with three matches at Maracanã and just one trip, to face Internacional in Porto Alegre.
The away match is scheduled for August 17th, between the Copa Libertadores round of 16 matches. The matches against Mirassol, Vitória, and Grêmio will take place in Rio de Janeiro , with the support of the nation at the Maraca.
Before the recently released sequence, Flamengo has an important commitment for the 17th round of the Brasileirão . This Sunday (27), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Atlético-MG, at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã.
With 33 points, Rubro-Negro is looking for a win to reclaim the lead, depending on a slip-up from Cruzeiro . It's worth noting that the Rio de Janeiro club still has a game in hand. Galo, meanwhile, sits in ninth place with 20 points.
For the match, coach Filipe Luís is expected to count on the return of Allan and Plata, who have been cleared by the medical department. On the other hand, the coach is still dealing with six injury absences : De La Cruz, Pulgar, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Michael, and Ayrton Lucas, who are all undergoing treatment. In addition, full-back Wesley, who was traded to Roma, is no longer part of the squad.

Flamengo ended September on a high note, leading the Brazilian Championship and securing a spot in the Libertadores semifinals . Now, the team enters October in a decisive mood, with a derby, head-to-head matches, and crucial fixtures on the calendar.
The start takes place this Thursday (02), when Rubro-Negro receives Cruzeiro, at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The duel is treated as a direct confrontation in the fight for leadership , since Flamengo has 54 points and the Minas Gerais team appears right behind, with 50.
Even if they lose, Filipe Luís's team will remain top, but with only a one-point lead . A win could widen the gap and make things more comfortable in the standings, virtually eliminating Cruzeiro from the race for first place.
Starting the month's calendar, Flamengo faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation will be broadcast by SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) .

With the pause in the club calendar for the FIFA Date in October, Flamengo should take advantage of the period without games to focus on one of the main internal matters : the renewal of Arrascaeta's contract , the club's great highlight of the year.
The club had reached an agreement at the beginning of the year, but negotiations cooled in May. Now, the board is moving to resume talks with the number 10's representatives as early as next week. According to GE, a proposal has been presented, but there are still points to be adjusted, including requests made by the Uruguayan midfielder.
Arrascaeta has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2026. However, the Uruguayan has already expressed his desire to end his career with the red-and-black shirt , and the club is considering offering a renewal for another three seasons, which would extend the contract until 2029. The topic is still under internal discussion.
Since his arrival in 2019, Arrascaeta has scored 92 goals and provided 102 assists in 337 matches, contributing directly to 194 goals . Currently wearing the number 10 jersey, which he inherited after Gabigol's departure, the Uruguayan is also the team's top scorer in 2025: 19 goals and nine assists in 47 games this season.
While negotiating the renewal, Arrascaeta remains available for the next challenge. Flamengo faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).

Carlo Ancelotti announces, this Wednesday (1st), his third call-up in charge of the Brazilian National Team, and Flamengo is following closely . The Italian coach included at least five red-black athletes in the preliminary list, which could result in important absences for the classic against Botafogo, for the Brazilian Championship.
Brazil faces Japan on October 14th, just one day before the clash at Maracanã. Logistics make releasing players virtually impossible . The situation is further complicated by the location of the matches: the national team faces South Korea on the 10th in Seoul, and Japan on the 14th in Tokyo—both in Asia.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the names under Ancelotti's watch are Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Pedro, and Samuel Lino . Despite the risk of absences, Flamengo 's board is unlikely to file a formal complaint with the CBF. Internally, the club acknowledges the loss but understands that the situation also affects other teams, including Botafogo.
In addition to the Brazilian squad, Flamengo could also lose players to South American teams. Uruguay, Ecuador, and Colombia will play between the 13th and 14th, which could mean Varela, De La Cruz, Viña, Plata, and Carrascal are out of the derby .
The matches also involve long trips: Uruguay faces Malaysia; Ecuador faces Mexico; and Colombia faces Canada in Toronto . Even though the matches precede the derby, the physical strain and distance make it impossible for the players to return immediately.
