Inspired in the newUEFA Champions League format, teams were divided into four pots, with four teams in each pot. Teams will face all three teams of their own pot, two of another two pots, and one of another one pot, meaning:
In the first stage, all teams will play eight matches, with the matches of teams between pots being defined by a draw. The top eight teams qualify to the quarterfinals, played in a single match, with the winners qualifying to the semifinals, also played in one match.[1] Teams with the best campaign hold de advantage of playing at home.
The two last-placed teams of the first stage are relegated to theCampeonato Paulista Série A2.[3]
The finals will be played in two legs, with the best placed team playing the second leg at home.
Teams were divided into four pots, and the draw for the matches took place on 11 November 2025.[4]
