Twenty teams competed in the tournament, twelve returning from the 2018 season, four promoted from the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C (Botafogo-SP, Bragantino, Cuiabá and Operário Ferroviário),[2] and four relegated from the 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (América Mineiro, Paraná, Sport and Vitória).[3]
Red Bull GmbH signed a deal with the promoted team Bragantino.[4][5] Team was merged with Red Bull Brasil and renamed as RB Bragantino, although in the 2019 Série B their name was simply Bragantino with Red Bull as main sponsor.[6]
In the 17th round (20 August), Figueirense players refused to play their away match against Cuiabá in protest over unpaid wages. Cuiabá was awarded a 3–0 win by forfeit.[7] On 4 October, Figueirense was sanctioned by the Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) with loss of three points and a fine of R$3,000.[8] Few days later the STJD corrected its decision and gave back the three points to Figueirense.[9]
The top four teams were promoted to the 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Bragantino became the first club to be promoted after a 3–1 win against Guarani on 5 November 2019.[10] Sport was promoted on 20 November,[11] and Coritiba and Atlético Goianiense on 30 November.[12]
