SBT announced on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, the end of the program 'Sabadou com Virginia', hosted by Virginia Fonseca, after nearly two years on air.

SBT officially confirmed Virginia Fonseca's departure and the end of the program 'Sabadou com Virginia' in a statement sent to the press on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The show, which premiered nearly two years ago, is concluding at the presenter's initiative, who informed the broadcaster at the end of 2025 that she would not renew the contract. According to the statement, Virginia felt the need to dedicate herself to 'new fronts of work'.
The announcement emphasizes that the period was 'extremely happy and productive for both Virginia and SBT'. Before the full end of the partnership, six unpublished episodes will still air, including a farewell edition to be recorded on February 24, 2026. This sequence ensures the project's completion as originally planned.
The news surprised the team, as reported by outlets like Veja and Folha de S.Paulo. Virginia Fonseca, known for her presence on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, built an important history with the broadcaster during the program's run. There are no details on the presenter's new projects, but the decision reflects a common transition in Brazil's entertainment market, where digital influencers seek to diversify their activities.
