The 2026 Campeonato Catarinense (officially the Catarinense Fort Atacadista 2026 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 101st season of Santa Catarina's top-flight football league organized by FCF. The season began on 6 January and ended on 8 March 2026. Avaí were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

The tournament consists of 12 teams competing in four stages. In the first stage, the teams were divided into two groups of six, with each group playing a single round-robin tournament against the teams in the other group. The top four teams in each group will advance to the final stages, while the bottom two will play in the relegation stage, which will see three teams relegated to the 2027 Série B. The final stages (quarter-finals, semi-finals and final) will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. Additionally, teams eliminated in the final stages will compete in the Taça ACESC 70 anos, which will determine third place.[2]

Champions and runners-up will qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil and the 2027 Copa Sul-Sudeste. Third place will win the Taça ACESC – Associação dos Cronistas Esportivos de Santa Catarina – 70 anos and will also qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil. The two best teams not already qualified for the 2027 Série A, Série B or Série C will qualify for the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[3]

First stage

For the group stage, the 12 teams were drawn into two groups of six teams each. Each team played on a single round-robin tournament against the six clubs from the other group. The top four teams of each group advanced to the quarter-finals of the knockout stages, while the bottom two teams in each group will play in the relegation stage. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Fewest red cards; 5. Fewest yellow cards; 6. Draw.

Taça ACESC 70 anos

The Taça ACESC 70 anos will determine third place in the tournament. The winners will qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil. The teams will compete in a single-elimination tournament. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners.

The play-offs were played on a home-and-away, two-legged basis. The semi-finals were played as a single match, and the number of matches in the final will depend on whether the finalists are participating in the 2026 Copa do Brasil. The higher-seeded team will host the second leg of the two-legged fixture and the only leg of the one-legged fixture.
