Novorizontino have become the first club to secure promotion to the 2027 Brasileirão, Brazil's top-flight football league. The achievement was confirmed on November 7, 2026, marking an early milestone in the race for places in the next edition of the national championship.
The São Paulo-based side clinched their return to the elite division ahead of schedule, though specific details regarding the match or points tally that sealed the promotion were not immediately disclosed. Novorizontino previously competed in the Brasileirão during the 2023 season before suffering relegation.
With several months remaining in the current campaign, other clubs will now look to join Novorizontino in securing their spots for the 2027 season.
