The 2026 Campeonato Paranaense (officially the Campeonato Paranaense de Futebol Profissional da 1ª Divisão - Temporada 2026) was the 112th edition of the top division of football in the state of Paraná organized by FPF. The competition began on 6 January and ended on 7 March 2026.[1] Operário Ferroviário were the defending champions.

Format

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 teams were ranked according to points. If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Head-to-head results (only between two teams); 5. Fewest red cards; 6. Fewest yellow cards; 7. Draw in the headquarters of the FPF. The top four teams in each group advanced to the final stages, while the bottom two will play in the relegation playoffs.

The relegation playoffs will be played on a home-and-away, two-legged basis, with the teams' performance in the first stage determining which leg they play in. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners.

The Final stages will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the best overall performance team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners.[2]

The number of berths available for the 2027 Copa do Brasil and the 2027 Copa Sul-Sudeste will depend on whether the Taça FPF is held in the second half of 2026. These berths, along with those for the 2027 Série D, will be allocated based on the overall tournament standings.[3]
