On 15 March 2020, FMF suspended the Campeonato Mineiro indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic in Brazil.[2] Complying with the guidelines of the Governo do Estado de Minas Gerais, the tournament resumed behind closed doors on 26 July 2020.[3]

Cruzeiro were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the first stage.

Format

First stage

The 2020 Módulo I first stage will be played by 12 clubs in a single round-robin tournament. The four best-placed teams will qualify for the final stage and the bottom two teams will be relegated to the 2021 Módulo II.

The three best-placed teams not already qualified for the 2021 seasons of the Série A, Série B or Série C, gained berths in the 2021 Série D. The four best-placed teams qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil. If a team qualify for the Copa by other means, their berth is passed down to the next best-placed team.[4]

Knockout stage

The knockout stage will be played between the 4 best-placed teams from the previous stage in a two-legged tie. In the semifinals and finals, higher-seeded team earns the right to choose the order of the legs. The away goals rule is not used, and if two teams tie on aggregate goals, higher-seeded team will advance.[4]

Troféu Inconfidência

The Troféu Inconfidência will be played between the 5th to 8th-placed teams in a single-elimination tournament. If tie, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winner.[4]

gollark: I like how people are so focused on devising strategies for heavpoot's random apiogame thing.
gollark: productive bad.
gollark: Just randomly truncate it for less formal settings.
gollark: Maybe just drop to 64-bit UUIDs with an efficient information-dense encoding. Collision chance is still decently low.
