Corinthians will take on Sao Paulo in the third round of the Campeonato Paulista Serie A1 2026 on Sunday, January 18, marking another edition of the iconic Classico Majestoso. This match, one of the biggest club rivalries in South America, will be played at the Neo Quimica Arena in Sao Paulo.
Corinthians began their Paulista campaign with a 3-0 win over Ponte Preta. However, the Timao suffered a 3-0 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino in the following match, leaving them ninth in the standings after two rounds.
Ahead of the Majestoso, new signing Matheus Pereira, who recently joined the club on loan from Fortaleza, has trained with Corinthians and could feature. The imposing atmosphere of the Neo Quimica Arena, which can accommodate more than 49,000 supporters, will be key in the high-pressure derby.
Sao Paulo, meanwhile, bounced back from a difficult start to the campaign with a 1-0 win over Sao Bernardo, with Luciano scoring the only goal. That result marked the Tricolours’ first win of the season under Hernan Crespo, following an opening-round 3-0 loss to Mirassol.
