Format

edit

The format of the competition was amended from the previous season, and featured a group stage where each of the ten teams faced each other once. The top four proceeded to a knockout semi-final and final, each over two legs.[1] The bottom two teams in the group stage were relegated to the second division.[2]

Due to each team having nine games in the group stage, some had to have 5 home games and others had to have 4 home games, which was decided by drawing of lots.[2]

The semi-final was 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.[1] The best performing team in the semi-finals was at home in the second leg of the final.[1]

Qualification

edit

The two finalists qualified to participate in the 2024 Copa do Brasil, unless they obtained qualification via other means, in which case the place passed to the third-placed team. The champion qualified to participate in the 2024 Copa do Nordeste. The two best placed teams (other than those already participating in a national league) qualified to participate in the 2024 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.
