The 2026 Campeonato Goiano (officially the Goianão Novomundo.com 2026 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 83rd edition of Goiás's top professional football league organized by FGF. The competition began on 10 January and ended on 15 March 2026.[2]

The competition features Anapolina and Centro Oeste, who were promoted from the 2025 Campeonato Goiano da Divisão de Acesso and took the places of the teams relegated in 2025.[3] Vila Nova are the defending champions.

Format

[edit]

In the first stage, the 12 teams were drawn into three groups of four teams each.

Group A Group B Group C

Each team will compete in a single round-robin tournament, playing against the eight clubs from the other groups. The teams will be ranked according to points. If tied on points, the following criteria will be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Fewest red cards; 5. Fewest yellow cards; 6. Draw. These criteria will also be used to determine the overall performance in the final stages and the playoffs. Regardless of their group, the eight teams with the best performance will advance to the quarter-finals, while the team that finishes bottom will be relegated to the 2027 Divisão de Acesso.[4]

The final stages (quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals) and the playoffs will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. Teams eliminated in the quarter-finals will play in the play-offs to determine places 5–8. For the playoffs, semi-finals and finals the best overall performance team will host the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners

The relegation playoff will only take place if the difference in points between 10th and 11th place at the end of the first stage is six points or fewer. If the difference is greater than six points, the team in 11th will be relegated to the 2027 Divisão de Acesso. If, after the first playoff match, the difference in overall points between teams exceeds three points, relegation of the 11th-place team will be confirmed, meaning a second match will not be necessary. Following the playoff matches, the team with the fewest overall points will be relegated to the 2027 Divisão de Acesso.

The number of berths available for the 2027 Copa do Brasil and the 2027 Série D will be allocated based on the overall tournament standings, in accordance with the CBF's qualification criteria.[4]
