- By Mirella Ramos / Central do Timão Editorial
Corinthians closed the first half of the 2026 season among the clubs with the largest presence of fans in the stands of the Brazilian Championship. After 18 rounds played, Timão appears in second place in the average attendance ranking as home team in the national competition.
In the nine matches held at the Neo Química Arena for the Brasileirão, the black and white club received 316,791 fans. The number represents an average of 35,199 people per match, second only to Flamengo, which leads the survey with an average of more than 60 thousand fans per game.

In addition to being second in total attendance, Corinthians also stands out when the criterion analyzed is stadium occupancy. Fiel records the best occupancy rate in Série A to date, with an average of 78.32% of the Neo Química Arena's available capacity filled in its championship games.
The index places the São Paulo club ahead of teams like Flamengo and Vasco da Gama, which appear just behind in the stadium occupancy ranking.
On the field, however, the home team's performance still does not fully reflect the support coming from the stands. In nine matches played at home for the Brasileirão, Corinthians won 14 of the 27 possible points. The campaign has four wins, two draws and three defeats, resulting in a success rate of approximately 52%.
In the general classification of the Brazilian Championship, Timão ended the first part of the season in tenth place, with 24 points in 18 rounds. The team led by Fernando Diniz is now on break due to the World Cup and will only return to official commitments at the end of July.
