First stage

In the first stage, each team played the other nine teams in a single round-robin tournament. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Fewest red cards; 5. Fewest yellow cards; 6. Draw in the headquarters of the FPF.[2]

Top two teams advance to the semi-finals of the final stages, while teams from third to sixth places advance to the quarter-finals. The bottom three teams are relegated to the 2026 Série A2.[3]
