Notes
  • Taça Brasil and Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa titles are only officially recognized by CBF in 2010.[15][2][3]
  • Flamengo has claimed the title of the 1987 Campeonato Brasileiro (Copa União), for having won the Green Module (Portuguese: Módulo Verde), organized by Clube dos 13, who refused to play against the Yellow Module (Portuguese: Módulo Amarelo) winners, organized by CBF.[16] However, the club lost in all instances, thus the only officially recognized champion being Sport Recife.[17][18]
  • In 2020, after partnering with the energy drinks company Red Bull, CA Bragantino has changed their name to "Red Bull Bragantino" (or RB Bragantino) the same how did it happened with RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg.
