2024 Copa do Brasil
The 2024 Copa do Brasil (officially the Copa Betano do Brasil 2024 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 36th edition of Brazil's domestic cup, the Copa do Brasil. It was being held from 20 February to 10 November 2024.[2] São Paulo were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals. Unlike previous editions, this edition did not automatically grant berths based on the national club ranking; instead, of the 92 available berths, 80 were distributed between the state leagues, with the remaining 12 being allocated to the teams qualified for the Copa Libertadores, the champions of regional cups Copa Verde and Copa do Nordeste, the champion of the second division Série B, and any remaining berths going to non-qualified clubs in Série A.[3] In their third consecutive final, Flamengo defeated Atlético Mineiro to win their fifth title. As champions, Flamengo qualified for the 2025 Copa Libertadores group stage and the 2025 Supercopa do Brasil.[4] Qualified teamsEach state league received a number of berths based on their state ranking. The states chose how to distribute those berths between league placements and state cup champions. Teams in bold enter the competition in the third round.[2]

DrawOn 30 January 2024, CBF held the draw for the first and second rounds of the Copa do Brasil. Teams were seeded into eight groups as per their national ranking. Matches were drawn using group A vs E, B vs F, C vs G, and D vs H; lower-ranked teams host the match.[6] First roundIn the first round, each tie was played on a single-legged basis. The lower-ranked team hosted the match. If a game ends on a draw, the higher-ranked team automatically advances to the second round.[7] Second roundIn the second round, each tie was played on a single-legged basis, with matches and hosts determined by the first round draw. If the score was level, the match would go straight to the penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.[7] Third roundThe draw for the third round was held on 17 April at the CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. The 32 teams, qualified from the previous round, were placed into two pots, seeded by their national ranking, and then drawn into 16 ties. A second draw determined the home and away teams for each leg.[8] Each team's CBF ranking is shown in parentheses.
