🇧🇷 Copa do Brasil: TV channel, kick-off times and live streaming in the UK

The Copa do Brasil is Brazil's national cup, and the most lucrative competition on the continent: the federation pays out prize money at every round that, for a second or third-division club, is worth more than an entire league season. That changes everything about how teams behave - a club from the Nordeste stakes its annual budget on a single trip to São Paulo, and stakes it fully. More than eighty clubs from every state in the country enter, which produces ties separated by three thousand kilometres and by several levels of football. Rounds are played over two legs, with a rule that long allowed the away side to go through if it won by two goals in the first leg. Cruzeiro and Palmeiras hold the record, and the winner earns a place in the Copa Libertadores. For a European viewer, matches are played in the Brazilian evening, which means the middle of the night in Europe.
