How to watch Copa do Brasil live online in 2023

The 2023 Copa do Brasil is already underway, but how can you watch it on television or on your cell phone? And how to watch the games for free? Check out the complete guide that the portal Most Curious prepared on how to follow all the games in the competition, from the first phase to the grand final.

What is the Copa do Brasil

The Copa do Brasil is a football tournament played in Brazil, which follows a "mata-mata" format, similar to the FA Cup and King's Cup competitions.

Considered the most democratic competition in Brazilian football, the Copa do Brasil consists of seven phases: first phase, second phase, third phase, round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and final.

In the first phase, eighty teams participate. The classified teams advance to the second phase, where they again play in a single match, looking for a chance to move forward in the competition.

The third phase marks the direct entry of the 12 big Brazilian clubs, such as Palmeiras, Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro. From that point on, the Copa do Brasil is played in round-trip games until the grand final.

How to watch the Copa do Brasil on TV?

There are three options for fans to watch the Copa do Brasil games on television. The first option is to watch it on open TV, by Globo, which holds the broadcasting rights with final validation by the CBF. From the third phase onwards, when the big teams enter the competition, the broadcaster broadcasts up to two games per phase, spread across different states. It is free and available throughout Brazil.

Globo's main narrators, such as Luís Roberto, Cléber Machado and Rogério Corrêa, and the commentators, are scheduled for each match.

The second option is SporTV, available only from cable TV operators. The channel shows up to three games per phase at different times of the week. As Globo cannot show all the games on open TV, SporTV is responsible for broadcasting the games that were not chosen by the broadcaster. SporTV and SporTV 2 will show the games live throughout Brazil, with narrators such as Gustavo Villani, Everaldo Marques, Luiz Carlos Jr and Milton Leite.

Finally, the third option is Premiere, also available only from pay-TV operators. The channel broadcasts all Copa do Brasil games live and in HD, including games that have already been broadcast on Globo and SporTV. Fans can choose from narrations and commentary from a variety of narrators and commentators.

An alternative available on pay-TV is the Premiere pay-per-view service. However, as the name suggests, this service can only be accessed at an additional cost in the monthly fee.

To have access to the channel package, fans must contact the cable TV operator and purchase it. Each platform offers different prices for the service.

Premiere, like SporTV, also shows a large number of Copa do Brasil games, especially those that are not broadcast by Globo.

Where to watch the Copa do Brasil games online?

The Copa do Brasil broadcast can be watched on mobile devices or computers through the GloboPlay and Amazon Prime streaming platforms. The GloboPlay streaming service is the first option for fans, where Globo programming can be watched for free, even for non-subscribers.

However, the service works according to the user's location, that is, residents of São Paulo will watch programming from the state of São Paulo on GloboPlay. For those who own the SporTV and Premiere channels, it is possible to watch the channels exclusively. Just tune in to the app on your cell phone, tablet, computer or smart TV, or even access the website on your computer.

New this season is the Amazon Prime Video streaming service, which shows up to three matches per round of the Copa do Brasil for all of Brazil. However, like the other services, Prime Video only works for subscribers. For R$ 14.90 per month or R$ 119 per year, fans have access to movies, series, documentaries and Copa do Brasil matches to watch whenever they want. The Amazon Prime team of narrators is made up of Rômulo Mendonça, Marcelo Gomes, Estevan Ciccone and Roby Porto.
