The Brazilian Serie A Championship, popularly referred to as Brasileirao, is the top-tier football category in Brazil. Twenty teams play against each other year after year to be crowned as champions.

Just like most leagues in the world, this competition works under a promotion-relegation system. Each year, four teams with the lowest amount of points are relegated to Serie B, with four teams from that league earning their promotion. The team with the most points after 38 games is crowned as Brazil’s champion.

Added to the trophy, this tournament hands out several spots to play in CONMEBOL-sanctioned competitions. The four top teams get spots to play the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, while the 5th and 6th-placed teams enter the preliminary rounds in that same competition. The champion also gets to play the Copa Sudamericana, joined by those teams that finish the Brasileirao in 7th to 10th place.

The 2017 Brasileirao season ended with Corinthians lifting the title. The “Timao” side beat Palmeiras by nine points to lift their seventh title in the history of this competition. Brazilian clubs Coritiba, Avai, Ponte Preta and Atlético Goianiense were relegated to Brazil’s Serie B, leaving their spots for Internacional, América Mineiro, Ceará, and Paraná.

The 2018 Brasileirao kicked off on April 14. The last match of the competition is scheduled to be played on December 9, 2018.

Did you know? Pelé’s Santos won three straight Brasileirao titles in a row without losing a single game from 1963 to 1965.
