Some tournaments remain on their original channels, while others, such as the FIFA Club World Cup, are still awaiting an official definition.
In this text you can check the current situation of each open broadcaster in relation to the main football leagues of the Brazilian market in 2023. And also the competitions that are still without an officially guaranteed channel.
Globe
After spending two years reducing its sports competition portfolio and missing out on tournaments such as Libertadores, Paulistão and Cariocão, Globo has resumed its investments for 2023. The broadcaster won the Conmebol tender and will bring Libertadores back on the schedule after three years.
There is still no official confirmation on Globo, but Libertadores can only be broadcast in the region in the preliminary stages. The first matches already confirmed are the duels between Atlético-MG and Carabobo, which in any case can be followed on a national level through the internet, on Globoplay and on ge.

The single final will be broadcast by the broadcaster.
In addition to the Libertadores, Globo guaranteed the renewal of the Copa do Brasil. The Brasileirão will continue on the broadcaster at least until the end of the 2024 season. Mineiro, Gaúcho and Pernambucano are confirmed among the main state teams in the country. The Nations League is also part of the broadcaster’s portfolio, but has so far only been broadcast via sports on pay TV.
Women’s football will also be an attraction on Globo in 2023. The broadcaster has bought the rights to Brasileirão Feminino, which should only be broadcast in the decisive stages, and also has a contract with the Supercopa Feminina. The main event of the mode in the season will be the World Cup, which will be held between July and August in Australia and New Zealand, also broadcast by Globo.
SBT extension
SBT lost Libertadores after airing three editions exclusively on open tv, in fact, three tournaments marked by 100% Brazilian finals. But in the same race in which it was defeated by Globo in Conmebol’s main competition, Silvio Santos’ broadcaster won the dispute over the broadcasting rights of the Copa Sudamericana until 2026.
Sula was out of TV open a few years ago. Broadcast over the years by channels such as Globo, Record and Band, since 2019 the competition is exclusive to paid media. The first was DAZN, which in 2019 even granted some matches to RedeTV!. Then came Conmebol TV, which didn’t give up on exclusivity even in the final that San Paolo had last year. On SBT, Sul-Americana will broadcast one game per round, in addition to the live final.
SBT also continues with the European Champions League, Europa League and Conference League Final. In August, the channel has yet another edition of the UEFA Super Cup. Silvio Santos’ broadcaster also owns the Copa do Nordeste, broadcast regionally by affiliates.

There will be on average two matches per round, with national broadcast, i.e. without division of squares as Record has done.

São Paulo’s public broadcaster will also have São Paulo’s football matches under a contract with the FPF for the exhibition of Paulistão Série A2, Copa Paulista, and the semi-finals and finals of Paulistão Feminino and Paulistão Sub-20 Men.
definitions are missing

TV open to the outside
With the exception of the German league, which is broadcast on Band, the major European national leagues and cups are not broadcast on open TV because they are exclusive to the Disney group in Brazil, such as English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese.
THE South American cupwhich will see Flamengo against Independiente del Valle, will also be exclusive to ESPN and Star+ channels, as Conmebol did not include it in the TV package open during the Libertadores and Sul-Americana match.
