The 2026 Copa do Brasil is the 38th edition of Brazil's domestic cup, the Copa do Brasil. It will be held from 17 February to 6 December 2026.[1]

Due to its expansion, the 2026 Copa do Brasil will have five stages before the round of 16, with single-legged matches from the first to the fourth stage.[2] From the fifth stage to the semi-finals, teams will play in a two-legged tie to decide which one will advance to the following round.[2] The final will be played in a single match, with the host city having to comply with a stadium of at least 40,000 capacity, and having the structure to host the supporters of both clubs.[2]
