Format

- After the completion of the first stage, the two clubs with the lowest number of points, regardless of the group, were relegated to the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.
- Quarter-finals and semi-finals were played in a single match, with the best placed team playing at home.[2]
- The finals were played in a two-legged home and away fixture, with the best placed team playing the second leg at home.[2]
- In case of a draw in any knockout stage, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out.[2]
- The two highest-placed teams not otherwise qualified for the 2026 Copa do Brasil.[2]
- The top three highest-placed teams in the general table at the end of the competition who are not playing in any level of the national Brazilian football league system qualified for the 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[2]
