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]
