The 2025 Campeonato Paraibano de Futebol is the 115th edition of Paraíba's top professional football league. The competition started on 11 January and scheduled to conclude on 30 March 2025.
The format of the competition was amended from the previous season, and featured a group stage where each of the ten teams faced each other once. The top four proceeded to a knockout semi-final and final, each over two legs.[1] The bottom two teams in the group stage were relegated to the second division.[2]
Due to each team having nine games in the group stage, some had to have 5 home games and others had to have 4 home games, which was decided by drawing of lots.[2]
The semi-final was drawn according to finishing places in the group stage. First played fourth and second played third, with the higher placed team at home in the second legs.[1] The best performing team in the semi-finals was at home in the second leg of the final.[1]
