The 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino A-1 (officially the Brasileirão Feminino Neoenergia 2023 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 11th season of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1, the top level of women's football in Brazil, and the 7th edition in a Série A1 since its establishment in 2016. The tournament was organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). It started on 24 February and ended on 10 September 2023.[2]
Sixteen teams competed in the league – the top twelve teams from the previous season, as well as four teams promoted from the 2022 Série A2 (Athletico Paranaense, Bahia, Ceará and Real Ariquemes)[3]
In the 15th round of Group A (12 June 2023), Real Ariquemes players refused to play their home match against Santos in protest over unpaid wages. Santos was awarded a 3–0 win by forfeit.[4]
In the finals, the defending champions Corinthians won their 5th title after defeating Ferroviária 2–1 on aggregate.[5]
Athletico Paranaense, Bahia, Ceará and Real Ariquemes were relegated to the 2024 Série A2.[6]
Format
In the group stage, each team played once against the other fifteen teams. Top eight teams qualified for the final stages. Quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.[7]
