New Paulistão Regulations

The format is inspired by the new Champions League. The 16 clubs will play in a “league” format, with each team playing eight matches – half at home and half away. The matchups will be determined using criteria similar to UEFA's “pots” to balance the schedule.

Teams from the same pot face each other (all the classics, guaranteeing three matches). The other five opponents were chosen by draw.

The top eight teams in the round-robin phase advance to the knockout stage. The quarterfinals and semifinals will be played as single matches, with home advantage for the team with the better record.

Only the final will keep the traditional home-and-away format. According to the CBF's projection, the 2026 Paulistão should conclude quickly, with the final scheduled for the first half of March – according to a CBF notice to the federations, no state championship final can be held after March 8.
