The singer, 65, is due to play at Copacabana Beach as her global Celebration Tour, which began in October 2023, comes to a close.
Madonna's team has described the event as "her biggest gig yet" and will be the first time she has played in Brazil since 2012.
It will be free of charge "as a thank you to her fans for celebrating more than four decades of her music over the course of the epic global run of the tour."
Entrance will be on a first-come-first-served basis at the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel, so long queues are likely to form.
Madonna launched the Celebration Tour with six nights at London's O2 Arena, taking the show to 14 countries.
