The 68th season of the top tournament in Brazil returns to action following the end of the state tournaments last week. Follow the first games with this guide.

After four months of waiting, fans all over the world will be able to watch the beginning of the 2024 edition of the Brazilian Serie A, most commonly known as Brasileirao. The top-tier category in Brazilian football kicks off once the state championships came to a conclusion, with some major changes to the lineup of teams involved in the tournament and more top-caliber players to keep an eye on.

Palmeiras will return to the 2024 season as defending champions. The Verdao claimed their 12 title in the competition after a close battle with Gremio, which was decided until the final weeks of the tournament.

Just like in almost all leagues in the world, the Brasileirao will welcome new teams to the lot, while also saying goodbye to some familiar faces. Speaking of those, this will be the first Brasileirao season without the legendary Santos, who were relegated to Serie B after an unfortunate finish of the 2023 season. Instead, the Brazilian Serie A will welcome Vitoria, Juventude, Criciuma, and Atlético Goianense.

When it comes to managerial changes, former Brazil National Team coaches such as Luiz Felipe Scolari and Mano Menezes will not be around for this season. Instead, coaches such as Gabriel Milito, Cuca, or Artur Jorge will be among those with new managerial opportunities. 

Since the Brazilian championship will kick off with a bang prior to a couple of pauses due to international games, matches will be held almost every day of the week, which is why we will leave you with the full schedule for the entire week.

Top games to watch 

Fluminense vs RB Bragantino - The Copa Libertadores winners return to this competition trying to replicate their continental success in the domestic competition, something they have not been able to do since 2012. Facing them will be RB Bragantino, who have never won the title and will also be involved in this year's Copa Libertadores. RB Bragantino defeated "Flu" in their most recent game back in October, which could be an indication of how things could unfold this time.

Corinthians vs Atlético Mineiro - Corinthians were quite dominant in the competition back in the 2010s, but they have failed to win any titles this decade. The team led by Antonio Olivera will begin their quest to end that drought when they welcome Atlético Mineiro, one of the toughest teams out there and who are named by many as title contenders. The away side will start a new era with coach Gabriel Milito at the helm, following Luiz Felipe Scolari's exit from the club a couple of weeks ago.

Atlético Mineiro vs Criciuma - Another match involving one of the recently promoted teams will take place on Wednesday, when Gabriel Milito's team welcomes Criciuma. The Tiger returns to the Brazilian Serie A after an eleven-year hiatus, led by some stellar names like Eder, Yannick Bolasie, and Miguel Trauco, who are seen as those who will keep the club among the top teams in Brazil after this season.

Palmeiras vs Internacional - One of the first big matches of the season is set to take place at Allianz Parque on Wednesday. Two former Serie A champions will lock horns with nothing with victory on their minds and with the red and white side trying to win their first Serie A title since 1979. Inter came close in 2022, but Palmeiras took that chance away from them thanks to an eight-point gap. Now, both teams will want to be off to a good start in what could be one of the best games of the week, or even the ongoing month.

Flamengo vs Sao Paulo - Flamengo won back-to-back titles in 2019 and 2020, but they seem to have lost some of their flair. Now, the team led by former Brazil coach Tite get back on the pitch facing Sao Paulo, a team trying to end a drought of over ten years when it comes to Brasileirao titles. The away side are unbeaten in their last four games against "Fla" (two wins, two draws), and it will be interesting to see if they can add one more win to that run.
