Format

edit

In the first stage, each team played the other nine teams in a single round-robin tournament. Top four teams advanced to the semi-finals. The team with the lowest number of points was relegated to the Série B do Campeonato Baiano de 2021.

The final stage was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.

Champions qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil and 2021 Copa do Nordeste, while runners-up and third place only qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil. Top three teams not already qualified for 2021 Série A, Série B or Série C qualified for 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[4]
