Format

First stage

edit

The 2022 Módulo I first stage was contested by 12 clubs in a single round-robin tournament. The four best-placed teams qualified for the final stage and the bottom two teams will be relegated to the 2023 Módulo II.

The three best-placed teams not already qualified for the 2023 seasons of the Série A, Série B or Série C, gained berths in the Série D. The four best-placed teams qualified for the 2023 Copa do Brasil. If a team qualified for the Copa do Brasil by other means, its berth would be awarded to the Troféu Inconfidência champions.[2]

Knockout stage

edit

The knockout phase will be played between the 4 best placed teams from the previous phase in a two-legged tie in the semi-finals, where the team with the best seed will win the right to choose the order of the legs. The final, from this edition onwards, will take place in a single match on neutral ground. The away goals rule will not be used, and if two teams tied for higher aggregate goals, the highest ranked team would advance.[2]

Troféu Inconfidência

edit

The Inconfidência Trophy will be disputed between the teams from 5th to 8th placed in the previous phase. The semi-finals will be two-handed tie and the final will be played in a single game.
