The São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) held a significant event this Tuesday (12) at the Arena Mercado Livre Pacaembu, where they drew the groups for the much-anticipated 2025 Paulista Championship.
In the group selection process, particular emphasis was placed on the state’s most storied clubs, with Corinthians, Palmeiras, São Paulo, and Santos being designated as the top seeds. The remaining teams were divided into several categories based on their previous performances:
- Bring 1: Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo, and Corinthians.

Notably, Corinthians finds itself in Group A, which features a competitive lineup. Additionally, Novorizontino and Mirassol, both currently engaged in a fierce battle for promotion to Series A, have been placed in their respective groups, although the specific groups are yet to be detailed.
The 2025 Paulistão is set to begin earlier than usual, kicking off in the initial weeks of January. The tournament will run from January 12, 2025, through the end of March, showcasing an array of exciting matches.
This change in the schedule is driven by the congested timeline for the Brazilian Championship, which will stretch over ten months. Notably, there will be a pause between June and July due to the FIFA Club Super World Cup, allowing teams to strategize and prepare adequately.
