Série A

The fixtures for the 2016 season were announced on 25 April 2016.[26] Flamengo began their league campaign with a 1–0 win at home against Sport Recife on 14 May 2016, with Éverton scoring the only goal of the match. This was also the only match in the league with coach Muricy Ramalho commanding the team, later in the same week the veteran head coach had heart problems–he was quickly hospitalized and resigned from the job weeks later.[27] After few matches as interim, Zé Ricardo took charge as the new head coach.
