How to read the CBF broadcast assignments
In the document, the CBF uses nine numbered columns for rights holders. The official key 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 these four rounds, most matches are assigned to ESPN / Disney+, while selected games also include RedeTV, Globo, Sportv, Premiere, SportyNet, Xsports or GOAT.
To avoid confusing the general rights picture with a specific match, check that game's row in the official detailed-schedule PDF. The CBF announcement dated September 14, 2026 is the official entry point for the document.
What can still change
The CBF notes that designated stadiums remain subject to prior inspection and may be replaced if required technical certificates are missing. It also states that match distribution across dates and times is built around rights holders' programming grids with CBF approval. For planning close to matchday, the safest reference is therefore the latest detailed schedule plus any official notices of changes.
