The 2026 Campeonato Mineiro final was a football match played on 8 March 2026 to decide the winner of the 2026 season of the Campeonato Mineiro, the top league of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The match was played between Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro, two rival teams from the state capital Belo Horizonte and the most successful teams in the history of the league.
Cruzeiro forward Kaio Jorge scored the only goal of the game, in the 60th minute. After a confrontation between Atlético Mineiro goalkeeper Everson and Cruzeiro midfielder Christian, the game ended with a mass brawl. Twenty-three players – twelve from Cruzeiro and eleven from Atlético Mineiro – were retrospectively given red cards by referee Matheus Delgado Candançan.
Cruzeiro won their 39th title and first since 2019, ending Atlético Mineiro's run of six consecutive titles. Cruzeiro manager Tite completed a set of Campeonato Mineiro, Campeonato Paulista, Campeonato Carioca and Campeonato Gaúcho titles, a feat previously achieved by Telê Santana.
