The winner of the 2025 Copa do Brasil, typically a BRA1 team, also receives a berth in the 2026 Copa Libertadores - Group Stage. If a BRA1 has earned the Copa do Brasil berth and has also earned a spot in one of the berths above, then the 7th best 2025 BRA1 team without a 2026 Copa Libertadores berth will receive a berth in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana - Group Stage.
