Format
The competition format differed from recent seasons, due to the ''CBF'' releasing fewer dates for the competition, because of the late running of the 2020 season. The competition was divided into a number of stages. No teams were promoted to the competition, as the second division did not take place in 2020. Therefore the competition ran with just eight teams. In the first phase, the eight teams played each other once. The top two clubs in the resulting table qualified directly for the semi-finals, whilst the clubs placed third to sixth qualified for the second stage. In the second phase, the third placed club in the first phase played the sixth placed club, and the fourth placed club played the fifth placed club, in a single match, with the highest placed club having home advantage. The winners of the two matches qualified for the semi-finals. In the semi-final, the first placed club in the first phase played against the winner of the fourth placed v fifth placed game in the second phase. The second placed club in the first phase played against the winner of the third placed v sixth placed game in the second round. The winner of the two semi-finals played in a two-legged final.Qualification
