The 2020 Campeonato Paranaense (officially the Campeonato Paranaense de Futebol Profissional da 1ª Divisão - Temporada 2020) was the 106th edition of the top division of football in the state of Paraná organized by FPF. The competition started on 18 January and ended on 5 August.
On 16 March 2020, FPF suspended the Campeonato Paranaense indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[1] Complying with the guidelines of the Governo do Estado do Paraná, the tournament resumed behind closed doors on 18 July 2020.[2]
Athletico Paranaense, the defending champions, won their 26th title after defeating Coritiba 3–1 on aggregate.[3]
In the first stage, each team played the other eleven teams in a single round-robin tournament. The teams were ranked according to points.
If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Head-to-head results; 5. Fewest red cards; 6. Fewest yellow cards; 7. Draw in the headquarters of the FPF.[4]
Top eight teams advanced to the quarter-finals of the final stages. The bottom two teams were relegated to the second division. Top three teams not already qualified for 2021 Série A, Série B or Série C qualified for 2021 Série D.[5]
Final stage was 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 would be used to determine the winner.[5] Top four teams qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil.
