Format

In the first stage, each team will play the other seven teams in a single round-robin tournament. Top four teams will advance to the semi-finals, while the bottom team will be relegated to the 2027 Campeonato Alagoano Série B. Semi-finals and finals will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis with the best overall performance team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners.

Champions and runners-up will qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil and 2027 Copa do Nordeste. The third-place team will also qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil. The two best teams not already qualified for the 2027 Série A, Série B or Série C will qualify for the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. [3]
