The Campeonato Catarinense de Futebol Profissional da Série A de 2020, known as the 2020 Campeonato Catarinense, was the 95th season of Santa Catarina's top-flight football league. The season began on 22 January and ended on 13 September 2020.

On 16 March 2020, FCF suspended the Campeonato Catarinense indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[1] Complying with the guidelines of the Governo do Estado de Santa Catarina, the tournament resumed behind closed doors on 8 July 2020.[2]

After the quarter-final first legs, played on 8 and 9 July 2020, several players and staff of Chapecoense, Criciúma, Figueirense, Joinville, and Marcílio Dias tested positive for COVID-19.[3] Because of this, on 13 July 2020, the Governo de Santa Catarina and FCF suspended the tournament until 27 July 2020.[4] Due to the spread of COVID-19, on 24 July 2020, the Governo de Santa Catarina extended the suspension until 7 August 2020,[5] but a subsequent agreement between FCF and the Governo de Santa Catarina lifted the suspension.[6] Finally, the tournament resumed again on 29 July 2020.[7]

In the finals, Chapecoense defeated Brusque 3–0 on aggregate to win their seventh title.[8]

Avaí were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Format

[edit]

The tournament was contested between 10 teams, who first played in a single round-robin tournament. The bottom two teams played a relegation play-off to next year's Série B. The final stage and the relegation play-off were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.[9] Champions and runners-up qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil, while three teams qualified for the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[10]
