Format

The competition format is similar to the previous three editions but with some alterations to each stage.

First round

The preliminary phase of the tournament is contested as a round-robin among the two worst-placed teams of the 2019 competition, the two best-placed teams in the 2019 relegation group, and the two teams promoted from the 2019 Série B1.[2] The top two teams of the preliminary phase qualify for the main competition while the remaining four compete in the relegation playoffs.

Relegation playoffs

Unlike the previous format, only one team participating in the Campeonato Carioca will be relegated. The four lowest placed teams in the preliminary round will form Group X and play a double round-robin. The first placed team will avoid relegation and qualify for the preliminary phase of the 2021 Campeonato Carioca. The remaining three teams will form Group Z and play another double round-robin. The lowest placed team is relegated to the 2020 Campeonato Carioca Série B1.

Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio

In the main competition, the twelve clubs compete across two rounds in two groups of six. The first round is the Taça Guanabara and the second round is the Taça Rio. The two rounds have swapped formats from the 2019 Campeonato Carioca.

In the Taça Guanabara, each team faces all six teams of the opposite group. the two top-placed teams in each group qualify for the semi-final of the Taça Guanabara. In the event of a draw, the higher placed team advances to the final. The Taça Guanabara final is contested as a single match.[2] In case of a draw in the final, the match will go directly to a penalty shootout.

In the Taça Rio, each group contests a round-robin within their group. Like the Taça Guanabara, the top two teams in each group standing qualify to a semi-final with the same format.[2]

Final

The final stage will only be contested between two teams, as opposed to the four-team bracket of previous seasons. The winners of the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio will play the two-leg final. If tied on aggregate goals after both legs, the final will be decided in a penalty shootout. If the same club wins both the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio, and no other team has collected more points than this team across both group stages combined, then this team is immediately champion of the Campeonato Carioca. Otherwise, the team that won both cups and the team with the most points will play a two-leg final. In the case of a draw on aggregate, the championship will go to the team that won both cups.[2]

Taça Independência and Torneio Extra

The top two teams in the combined table of the Taça Guanabara and Taça Rio automatically qualify to the 2021 Copa do Brasil. Additionally, the best-placed team in the combined table that is not one of the "Big Four" of Rio de Janeiro (Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama) wins the Taça Independência (Independence Cup) and also qualifies to the 2021 Copa do Brasil. The four teams — excluding the "Big Four" and Taça Independência winner — that have the best points total (only considering matches against non-Big Four teams) will compete in the Torneio Extra (Extra Tournament): a single-elimination semifinals and final bracket. The winner of the Torneio Extra also receives a berth to the 2021 Copa do Brasil.

First round

Nova Iguaçu and Macaé qualified from the 2019 Campeonato Carioca relegation playoff. Americano and Portuguesa were the two lowest placed teams in the 2019 Campeonato Carioca main tournament. Friburguense and América were promoted from the 2019 Campeonato Carioca Série B1.
