In addition to already knowing their next opponent, Corinthians has another thing guaranteed for the grand final: a million-dollar prize. The club has already secured at least R$ 900,000, set as the prize for the tournament's runner-up. Additionally, the Brabas have already received R$ 120,000 for the quarterfinals and another R$ 120,000 for the semifinals, guaranteeing at least R$ 1.14 million for the coffers.

If they win the tournament, Alvinegro Paulista will surpass R$ 2 million in prizes just in the Women's Brazilian Championship. The winning team of the competition pockets an additional R$ 1.8 million, totaling R$ 2.04 million in prizes.

Besides the monetary prize, qualifying for the final of the competition secured the Brabas' participation in the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The finalists of the Brasileirão earn direct spots in the competition.

The CBF will still define the dates of the two matches, but the expectation is that they will be held over the next two weekends. It is worth remembering that in the first phase of the competition, Cruzeiro was the leader, while Corinthians took second place.
