Today's game between Flamengo and Fluminense will kick off at Oct 11, 2026, 4:30 PM.
TV channel and live stream options for Flamengo vs Fluminense are listed below. US-based viewers can watch live on Fanatiz, while fans in Brazil can follow the action on Premiere.
Flamengo host Fluminense in a Serie A fixture that carries genuine weight at both ends of the table, with the leaders looking to reassert themselves after dropping points in midweek.
Leonardo Jardim's side came into the week as the division's form team, but a 2-2 draw with Santos — in which Neymar came off the bench to score twice from the spot — halted their momentum and handed title rivals Palmeiras a significant boost.
Flamengo will want a response at home, and a Rio derby is precisely the kind of occasion that demands one. The pressure of the title race makes this more than a routine fixture.
Fluminense arrive in third place and in decent form. Marcao's side put four past Coritiba in their most recent outing, a result that underlines their attacking threat and keeps them firmly in contention for a continental qualification place.
The head-to-head record in recent seasons leans toward Flamengo, though Fluminense have shown they are more than capable of taking points in this fixture. A derby is rarely straightforward regardless of league position.

Form
Flamengo head into this fixture having won three of their last five matches across all competitions, though their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Santos in the Serie A. Before that dropped point, they had beaten Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 and Corinthians 2-1 in the league, and also claimed a 2-0 Copa Libertadores win over Independiente del Valle. A 1-1 draw with the same opponents in the reverse fixture is the other point dropped in that run.
Fluminense arrive in strong form, winning three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was an impressive 4-0 win over Coritiba in the Serie A, and they also beat Corinthians 3-1 away from home earlier in that run. Two defeats came against Club Atletico Platense in the Copa Libertadores, though they did beat the same opponents 2-0 in one of those ties.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these clubs ended 1-2 to Flamengo, a Serie A fixture played at Fluminense's ground in April 2026. Across the last five head-to-head matches — which include Serie A and Carioca Taca Guanabara fixtures — Flamengo hold the stronger record, though Fluminense claimed a 2-1 home win in November 2025 and a 2-1 victory in the Carioca earlier this year.

Flamengo top the Serie A table and will be determined to protect that position after dropping points against Santos. Fluminense sit third, meaning a win here would close the gap on the leaders and strengthen their own push for a continental place.
