Brazil's Supreme Federal Court scheduled a public hearing for 3 November to consider challenges to the fixed-odds betting ban, reportedly. Justice Luiz Fux invited 26 participants; his 26 October order neither ruled on the challenges nor granted operators' requested interim relief, leaving the measure in force and expired authorisations ineffective.
A public hearing on 3 November will examine Brazil's ban on fixed-odds betting, the Supreme Federal Court has announced, with legal challenges ongoing and operators still barred from resuming activity. The session was called by Justice Luiz Fux, who set a 10 a.m. start in the Second Chamber's session room and extended invitations to 26 participants drawn from the betting industry, football, government and other organisations. Issued on 26 October, one day after the second round of voting, the order leaves the constitutional challenges unaddressed and does not grant operators the interim relief they sought. Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 consequently remains in effect, and operating authorizations that expired on 25 October remain ineffective.
