The Brazilian Serie A heads into its final day with the champion virtually decided and a tight battle for the final relegation spot among the bottom four teams.
South American club football has shown almost uninterrupted regional dominance in recent years. Five straight Copa Libertadores titles, a triumph in the Copa Sudamericana, and a couple of runner-up finishes in international finals highlight Brazil’s strength. This power, paired with strong financial backing, has intensified internal competition and kept the Brasileirao unusually open, with outcomes staying uncertain until the very end.
In 2023, the Brasileirão is approaching its last round with most international qualification slots and sporting integrity already clear. Yet two major questions remain: who will claim the national title and which club will drop into the relegation zone that final day will decide.
Next, GOAL examines how the Brasileirao stands on the eve of the final matchday, which is scheduled to unfold in full next Wednesday, December 6, with nine of the ten matches kicking off concurrently—an event that heightens suspense and drama for clubs, fans, and analysts alike. The title race remains the headline, but the struggle to avoid relegation mirrors the overarching tension of a season defined by strategic depth, late twists, and the ever-present risk of an unexpected finish.
