Where to find live stats
- CBF official site (Brazilian Football Confederation) — verified, official league data.
- ESPN Brazil (sports broadcaster) — detailed stats including goals, assists, cards, and streaks.
- Sofascore (real-time sports analytics) — live tables and player stats with heatmaps.
- ge.globo (Globo’s sports portal) — league table and top scorers (artilharia).
- 365scores (sports results and stats) — player and team stats with filtering.

Who is the top scorer in the 2026 Brasileirão Série A?
Top scorers list
- Viveros leads with 10 goals (ge.globo (Brazilian sports portal)).
- Carlos Vinícius is second in the scoring race (ge.globo (Brazilian sports portal)).
- Pedro (Flamengo), John Kennedy (Fluminense), and Breno Lopes are also among the top five (ge.globo (Brazilian sports portal)).
Assists leaders
- Official assist leader not yet published by the CBF (CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation)).
- ESPN and Sofascore track assists and provide club-specific breakdowns (ESPN (sports broadcaster)).
Clean sheets leaders
- Goalkeeper stats including clean sheets are available on Sofascore and 365scores (Sofascore (real-time sports analytics)).
- No centralized clean-sheet ranking is currently published by the CBF (CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation)).
Viveros’ 10-goal lead is impressive, but with 30+ matchdays remaining, the race for the artilharia (top scorer award) is wide open. Keep an eye on Pedro and Carlos Vinícius — both have histories of second-half surges.
The pattern: The scoring title is often decided in the final month. For Brazilian fans tracking the Série A table, the goal race is as compelling as the championship fight itself.

| 1 | Palmeiras |
| 2 | Athletico Paranaense |
| 3 | São Paulo |
| 4 | Fluminense |
| 5 | Flamengo |
| 6 | Bahia |
How points are calculated

Relegation zone and qualification
