Twenty teams will compete in the tournament, twelve returning from the 2023 season, four promoted from the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D (Athletic, Caxias, Ferroviária and Ferroviário)[2] and four relegated from the 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B (ABC, Londrina, Sampaio Corrêa and Tombense).[3]

The first stage will have one group where each team will play the other teams in a single round-robin tournament. The top eight teams will advance to the second stage, while the bottom four will be relegated. In the second stage, the teams will be divided into two groups of four teams each. Each group will be played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The top two teams of each group will be promoted to the Série B, while the group winners will advance to the finals.[4]
