Brazilian Série B 2026: rounds 31 to 34 schedule, kickoff times and broadcasts through October 20

The CBF published the detailed schedule for rounds 31 to 34 of Brazil's Série B on September 14, 2026. This block starts on October 1 and ends on October 20, with dates, kickoff times, stadiums and broadcast listings for all 40 matches. All kickoff times are Brasília time. The references are the official CBF announcement and the detailed schedule PDF, updated on September 14, 2026.

For planning purposes, the key point is to treat this detailed version as the current official schedule. CBF itself states that the basic fixture list does not definitively set matchdays and kickoff times. The detailed table is the document that turns the pairings into the official program, with venue and broadcast information attached to each match.

Série B 2026 schedule for rounds 31 to 34

The period is split as follows: round 31 from October 1 to 3; round 32 from October 6 to 8; round 33 from October 11 to 13; and round 34 from October 16 to 20. That gives every club four league matches in less than three weeks.

Round 31: October 1 to 3

Round 32: October 6 to 8

Round 33: October 11 to 13

Round 34: October 16 to 20

What changes with the detailed schedule

The main change is not a new set of fixtures, but the operational definition of each match. The basic table presents the makeup of each round and broader calendar windows. The detailed version adds the exact day, kickoff time, stadium and listed broadcasters or platforms. For that reason, not every difference from an earlier date window should be described as a rescheduling of a previously confirmed kickoff.

In this block, round 31 already opens on Thursday, October 1, with Athletic-MG vs Sport and Novorizontino vs Goiás. Round 34 ends only on Tuesday, October 20, with Londrina vs Cuiabá. For fans following more than one club, spreading matches across several days reduces overlap but makes it important to check the broadcast line for each fixture.

Where to watch: how to read CBF's broadcast columns

The official PDF uses numbered columns for rights holders. Its legend maps Globo to column 1, RedeTV to 2, Sportv to 3, ESPN / Disney+ to 4, Premiere to 5, GE TV to 6, SportyNet to 7, Xsports to 8 and GOAT to 9. Across rounds 31 to 34, all 40 matches have at least one broadcast listing in the document.

ESPN / Disney+ appears on most of the schedule. Some fixtures carry additional outlets, including Fortaleza vs Náutico, Ponte Preta vs Juventude and Ceará vs Juventude with RedeTV and GOAT; Náutico vs Vila Nova and São Bernardo vs Criciúma are listed with Globo, Sportv and Premiere. São Bernardo vs CRB and Náutico vs Novorizontino are listed on Premiere.

Each club's sequence from rounds 31 to 34

The table below brings together each team's four fixtures, with date, kickoff time and home or away status. It makes it easier to see home-away patterns and which clubs face tighter turnarounds.

Which clubs have the shortest turnarounds

Using only the difference between scheduled kickoff times, eight clubs have at least one interval shorter than 96 hours in this block. This calculation measures schedule proximity. It does not measure actual recovery time because it does not include match duration, travel, training or team logistics.

Náutico has the shortest turnaround in this set: 70 hours between Náutico vs Novorizontino on October 8 at 19:30 and Náutico vs Vila Nova on October 11 at 17:30. Ponte Preta is next, with 76h35 between its match in Cuiabá on October 3 and the home match against Juventude on October 6.

What can still change before kickoff

CBF notes in the document that designated stadiums remain subject to prior inspection and may be replaced if the required technical reports are unavailable. Match scheduling also takes broadcasters' programming into account. Close to kickoff, the safest reference is therefore the latest detailed table and any official CBF notices.

The sporting format of the 2026 Série B still has 38 rounds. In the competition's technical documents, CBF states that the top two teams earn direct promotion and that the other two promotion places are decided through playoffs involving teams finishing third through sixth. This rounds 31 to 34 calendar should be read as a confirmed schedule, not as a prediction of standings or results.
