The Serie A Brazil is the top soccer division in the country . The competition started in 1959 under the name Taça Brasil . Starting in 1967, the Roberto Gomes Pedrosa Tournament began to be played. The titles of both championships were not recognized as official by the CBF until 2010. After the triumph of the National Team in the 1970 World Cup, the president of the country decided to reform it and call it the National Championship . It began to be played with 20 members and had a format much more similar to that used in Europe.

The competition is held every year between the months of May and December with the participation of 20 clubs. Each one faces all their rivals on two occasions, once in their own stadium and the other visiting their opponent's, until completing the 38 rounds. The classification is established according to the points obtained by each one. In case of equality of score between two competitors, the rules establish the number of matches won, the general goal difference and the goals in favor as the first tiebreaker criteria.

Since 2016, the top six of the classification of Serie A Brazil have obtained a place in the Copa Libertadores . The Top 4 go straight to the group stage. This number may vary depending on the winners of other competitions such as the Copa do Brasil , the Copa Sudamericana or the Libertadores itself. Those who finish between seventh and twelfth place, access the Copa Sudamericana . The four with the fewest points are relegated to Serie B Brazil .

The money from the televisions is a percentage to be taken into account in the budgets of the Brazilian teams. Currently, the broadcasting rights are exclusively held by Grupo Globo . It broadcasts the matches through its platforms Rede Globo, SporTV and Premiere FC . Globo has broadcast the league since its inception. Some games for the title have reached a rating of 53 points on Brazilian television, being an event of great interest to the audience.
