Format
All rounds will be played in a single-elimination tournament. The four teams with the lowest 2026 Women's Club Ranking competing in the 2026 Série A3 will play in the preliminary round. The winners of the preliminary round, the remaining Série A3 teams, and the two teams with the lowest 2026 Women's Club Ranking participating in the 2026 Série A2 will play in the first round. The first-round winners, the remaining Série A2 teams, and the two teams with the lowest 2026 Women's Club Ranking participating in the 2026 Série A1 will play in the second round. The second-round winners and the remaining Série A1 teams will play in the third round (round of 32).
The preliminary round and the first four rounds will be played on a single-leg basis. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, however, will be played on a two-legged, home-and-away basis. If a single-leg group is tied, a penalty shootout will be used to determine the winners. For a two-legged group, a penalty shootout will be used if the aggregate score is tied.[2]
Preliminary round
The draw for the preliminary round was held on 23 March 2026, 14:00 at CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.[3] The four teams with the lowest 2026 Women's Club Ranking participating in the 2026 Série A3 were drawn into a single group. As eleven of the participating teams were not ranked in the 2026 Club Ranking, they were allocated according to the 2026 Federation Ranking instead. The lowest-ranked teams were therefore those from Piauí, Maranhão, Mato Grosso do Sul and Amapá, whose corresponding teams were:
