Format

edit

The format of the competition remains unchanged from the 2023 season, and consists of a group stage where each of the ten teams face each other once. The top four proceed to a knockout semi-final and final, each over two legs.[1] The bottom two teams in the group stage will be relegated to the second division.[1]

The semi-final is drawn according to finishing places in the group stage. First played fourth and second played third, with the higher placed team at home in the second legs.[2] The best performing team in the semi-finals will be at home in the second leg of the final.[2]

Qualification

edit

The two finalists will qualify to participate in the 2025 Copa do Brasil, unless they obtain qualification via other means, in which case the place will pass to the third-placed team.[2] The champion will qualify to participate in the 2025 Copa do Nordeste.[2] The two best placed teams (other than those already participating in a national league) will qualify to participate in the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[2]
