[edit] Format

The Campeonato Amazonense is divided into Taça Amazonas and Taça Cidade de Manaus.

Taça Amazonas

  • Standard round-robin, in which all teams play each other once.

Taça Cidade de Manaus

  • Teams are divided in two groups of five.
  • First stage: standard round-robin, in which teams play each other once within the group.
  • Second stage: One leg playoffs with the top 2 teams of each group.

If a team wins both Taça Amazonas and Taça Cidade de Manaus, it is crowned the state champion. If not, a home-and-away playoff with the winners is disputed, and the winner is declared the state champion.

As in any other Brazilian soccer championship, the format can change every year.
