The 2026 Campeonato Alagoano (officially the Alagoano SportyBet 2026 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 96th edition of the top football league in Alagoas organized by FAF. It began on 10 January and ended on 7 March 2026.[2] CRB were the defending champions.
Format
In the first stage, each team played the other seven teams in a single round-robin tournament. Top four teams advanced to the semi-finals, while the bottom team was relegated to the 2027 Campeonato Alagoano Série B. Semi-finals and finals 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.
Champions and runners-up will qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil and 2027 Copa do Nordeste. The third-place team will also qualify for the 2027 Copa do Brasil. The two best teams not already qualified for the 2027 Série A, Série B or Série C will qualify for the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.[3]
