The 2026 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior (also known as Copinha Sicredi 2026 for sponsorship reasons), was the 56th edition of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, a youth football competition,[1] organized by the São Paulo Federation of Football (FPF).

One of the most traditional football competitions in Brazil, the 2026 edition took place between 2 and 25 January, being competed by 128 teams divided into 32 groups.[2] The top two teams in each group advance to the next stage, which will be played in knockout matches.[3] Therefore, the teams were reduced by half at each stage until the final.

São Paulo were the defending champions,[4] and managed to reach the final of the competition for a second consecutive year, where they lost to Cruzeiro.[5]

Host cities

In the 2026 edition, over 30 cities will be hosting matches for the tournament.[6]
