Format edit

The competition was a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team won the first match by 2 or more goals, it progressed straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule was also used in the 2014 Copa do Brasil. The Copa winner qualifies for the 2015 Copa Libertadores.

Copa Sudamericana qualification edit

The best seven teams eliminated before the Round of 16 with the best 2013 Série A or 2013 Série B record (excluding those qualified for 2014 Copa Libertadores) qualified for 2014 Copa Sudamericana.

Knockout stages edit

A draw by CBF was held on August 18 to set the matches for this round. The 16 qualified teams were divided in two pots. Teams from pot 1 were the ones who competed at the 2014 Copa Libertadores plus the two highest CBF ranked teams qualified via the Third Round. Pot 2 was composed of the other teams that qualified through the Third Round. Each pot was divided into 4 pairs according to the CBF ranking. That division ensured that each team within a pair will not face each other before the finals, as they will be placed in opposite sides of the bracket. There was a draw to decide the home team of the round of 16. The following stages had other draws to determine the order of the matches as the tournament advanced.[18][19]
