On 17 March 2020, FGF suspended the Campeonato Goiano indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic in Brazil.[1] Some months later, on 4 August 2020, they announced that the tournament would be resumed on 13 January 2021.[2][3]
Atlético Goianiense are the defending champions.
Participating teams
Format
In the first stage, the 12 teams were drawn into two groups of six teams each.
| Group A | Group B |
|---|---|
Each team will play on a home-and-away two-legged basis against the six clubs from the other group. The teams will be ranked according to points. If tie 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. This criteria also will be used to determine the overall performance in the final stage.[4]
The top eight teams in the first stage will advance to the quarter-finals, while the bottom two teams will be relegated to the Divisão de Acesso (2ª Divisão) de 2021.[4]
Originally, the final stage would be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, but due to the coronavirus pandemic the final stage will be played on a single-legged basis with the best overall performance team hosting the match. If the score is level, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winner.[2]
Champions will qualify for the 2021 Copa do Brasil and 2021 Copa Verde, while runners-up and third place only will qualify for the 2021 Copa do Brasil. Top three teams not already qualified for 2021 Série A, Série B or Série C will qualify for 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[4]
