The excitement is building for the next chapter of the 2026 Women's Copa do Brasil! Mark your calendars: the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) will host the draw for the Third Round this Friday, November 15, at 3 p.m. at its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro. For fans who can't make it in person, the entire ceremony will be streamed live on CBF TV's YouTube channel—perfect for catching all the action from home or on the go.

Here's what's at stake: this round brings together 32 teams in a single pot. That includes the 16 clubs that emerged victorious from the Second Round, plus the 16 elite teams competing in the Women's Brasileirão A1. It's a thrilling mix of underdogs and powerhouses, all vying for a spot in the next stage. Since the Third Round will be single-leg matches, home-field advantage will go to the first 16 teams drawn—adding an extra layer of drama to the proceedings.

The Second Round is still in full swing, with all qualified teams set to be decided by Thursday, November 14. So expect a few last-minute surprises before the draw!

For media professionals looking to cover the event, press accreditation is open via email at credenciamento@cbf.com.br. Be sure to include your full name, role, media outlet, and CPF. The deadline for requests is Thursday, November 15, at 11 p.m.—late submissions won't be accepted, and submitting doesn't guarantee approval, so get those requests in early.

Whether you're a die-hard fan, a casual follower, or just love the energy of tournament draws, this Friday's event promises to set the stage for some unforgettable matchups. Stay tuned!
