The 2026 Campeonato Capixaba was the 110th edition of Espírito Santo's top professional football league organized by FES. The competition started on January 13 and ended on March 28.[1]

Format

All 10 teams face each other in a single round in the first stage. The best eight advance to the quarterfinals and the last two places suffer relegation.

The quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals will be played in two-legged tie. The teams that had the best classification in the first stage are the home team of the second leg throughout the knockout and have, only in the quarterfinals, the advantage of the draw in the sum of the scores.[2]

The champion qualifies for the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D, the 2027 Copa do Brasil and the 2027 Copa Centro-Oeste. The runner-up takes the second spot for the 2027 Copa do Brasil.[2]
