Format

The championship has three stages. On the first stage, all teams excluding those who are playing in 2013 Copa do Nordeste play a double round robin. The best six teams qualifies to the second stage.

On the second stage, the teams are joined by the clubs from Ceará who were playing on Copa Nordeste. The teams then play a double round robin again, where the best four teams qualifies to the final stage. In the final stage, it's a playoff with four teams.[1]

The champion and the best team on first stage qualifies to the 2014 Copa do Brasil. The champion and the runner-up qualify to the 2014 Copa do Nordeste. The best team who isn't on Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Série B or Série C qualifies to Série D. The two worst teams in first stage will be relegated.[2]
