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 league also selects Minas Gerais's representatives in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D and the Copa do Brasil. The three best-placed teams not already qualified for the 2021 seasons of the Série A, Série B or Série C, earn places in the 2021 Série D. The four best-placed teams qualify 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.[3]

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, the best-placed team in the first stage of each contest has the right to choose whether to play its home game in the first or second leg. The away goals rule is not in effect, and should two teams be level on aggregate after both legs, the team who placed better in the first stage advances.[3]

Troféu Inconfidência

The Troféu Inconfidência will be played between the 5th to 8th-placed teams from the first stage in a two-legged tie. The format is the same as used in the knockout stage.[3]
