The 2026 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior (also known as Copinha Sicredi 2026 for sponsorship reasons), was the 56th edition of the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, a youth football competition, organized by the São Paulo Federation of Football (FPF).

One of the most traditional football competitions in Brazil, the 2026 edition took place between 2 and 25 January, being competed by 128 teams divided into 32 groups. The top two teams in each group advance to the next stage, which will be played in knockout matches. Therefore, the teams were reduced by half at each stage until the final.

São Paulo were the defending champions, and managed to reach the final of the competition for a second consecutive year, where they lost to Cruzeiro.
