All statistics correct as of 16 August 2020.

Twenty teams compete in the tournament, twelve returning from the 2019 season, four promoted from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C (Confiança, Juventude, Náutico and Sampaio Corrêa),[3] and four relegated from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Avaí, Chapecoense, Cruzeiro and CSA).[4] This is the first Série B played by Cruzeiro in their history.[5]

Cruzeiro were deducted six points after their denial to pay the fee that was agreed upon with Emirati side Al Wahda over Denílson loan in 2016. Al Wahda decided to take this issue to FIFA and they won the case.[6]

The matches Chapecoense v CSA, scheduled for 12 August 2020 (2nd round), and CSA v Cuiabá, scheduled for 15 August 2020 (3rd round) were postponed after 20 CSA players tested positive for COVID-19.[7][8]

The top four teams will be promoted to the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
