Format

In the main competition, the twelve clubs played each other on a single round-robin. This round-robin was the Taça Guanabara. The bottom team was relegated to the 2023 Série A2. While the top four clubs qualified for the final stage, the next four clubs (5th to 8th places) qualified for the Taça Rio. In the Taça Rio, the 5th-placed club will face the 8th-placed club, and the 6th-placed will face the 7th-placed. In the final stage, the winners of the Taça Guanabara will face the 4th-placed club, while the runners-up will face the 3rd-placed club.[3]

In both of these four-team brackets (the Taça Rio and the final stage), the semi-finals and finals will be played over two legs, without the use of the away goals rule. In the semi-finals of both the Taça Rio and the final stage, the better placed teams on the Taça Guanabara table will advance in case of an aggregate tie. In the finals of both brackets, there will not be such advantage; in case of an aggregate tie, a penalty shoot-out will take place.

The top four teams from the Taça Guanabara and the winners of the Taça Rio will qualify for the 2024 Copa do Brasil
