Games and where to watch (Brasília times)
< br>
3:25 pm: River Plate x Boca Juniors – Argentine League Cup (ESPN)< /p>
The Argentine superclassic, which takes place at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, will have the presence of both fans for the first time since 2018. The game is valid for the quarter-finals and, as it is decided without a round trip, it was placed in a neutral stadium.
6h: Vitória x Bahia - Brasileirão (Globo BA and Premiere)
The two northeasterners return to duel in Series A after a hiatus five seasons. The clash takes place at Barradão, Vitória's stadium. Bahia is coming off a victory over Fluminense and Vitória had its game postponed against Cuiabá.
4pm: Palmeiras x Flamengo - Brasileirão (Globo and Premiere)
< Paulistas and Cariocas have consolidated themselves as the greatest powers of Brazilian football in recent years and enter the field at Allianz Parque for the 3rd round of the national championship at different times: while Palmeiras lost to Inter in the middle of the week, Fla overcame São Paulo.
4pm: PSG x Lyon - French Championship (Star+)
Absolute leader of the tournament, PSG arrives for the duel fueled by qualification for the semi-final of the Champions League — the team beat Barcelona away from home and eliminated the Catalans from the tournament. Lyon is also going through a good moment and is unbeaten in six games.
4pm - Real Madrid x Barcelona - Spanish Championship (Star+)
The classic could confirm Carlo Ancelotti's team as favorites for the title once and for all or bring Barcelona closer to the top. Real leads Espanyol with 78 points, eight more than their Catalan rival, with seven rounds remaining in the championship.
6:30 pm - Atlético-GO x São Paulo - Brasileirão (Premiere) b>
São Paulo, which announced Luis Zubeldía on Saturday night (20), is playing to disenchantment in the Brasileirão — the São Paulo team has not yet won in the national championship. The Argentine, in fact, must be present in the stands at the Antônio Accioly Stadium, in Goiânia, before starting his career at Tricolor.

Flamengo Women have a decisive challenge this Wednesday (17), at 6 pm (Brasília time), against São Paulo, at Morumbis stadium. The match, valid for the round of 16 of the Women's Brazil Cup , will be played in a single game. Whoever wins will advance directly to the next phase of the national competition, which returned to the Brazilian football calendar after a nine-year absence.
São Paulo takes the field seeking its first Women's Copa do Brasil title . The Tricolor team comes into this match after defeating Vasco 3-1 away from home in the previous round. In the Brazilian Championship, however, the São Paulo team was eliminated in the semifinals by Corinthians.
FLAMENGO MOMENT
Flamengo , in turn, thrashed Operário-MS 6-0 in the previous round , with Mariane scoring a hat trick. Despite their recent strong performance, Rosana Augusto's team was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the last Brazilian Championship after being defeated by Palmeiras.
Despite returning to the official calendar, the Women's Copa do Brasil still offers significantly lower prize money than the men's. While the 2025 men's champion can earn up to R$101.2 million, the women's tournament title yields a maximum of R$1.38 million.
📅 Date: 9/17/2025

With a poor performance away from home, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
