Football league season
The 2023 Campeonato Capixaba (officially the Capixabão BANESTES 2023 for sponsorship reasons) was the 107th edition of Espírito Santo's top professional football league organized by FES. The competition started on January 19 and ended in April 22.[1][2]
The format was the same as the last four editions. In the first stage, the ten participants played against each other in a single round, with the best eight advancing to the Quarter-finals. The five best placed teams in the last edition played five games as the home team (Nova Venécia, Serra, Real Noroeste, Estrela do Norte and Vitória), the others played only four games as the home team. The final stage was played in a knockout system, facedre the teams face each other in an "cruzamento olímpico" (english: Olympic crossover) with home and away games, until the finals. The teams with the best campaigns in the first stage played as the home team on the second leg of the final stage.[3]
The champion earned the right to compete in the 2024 Copa do Brasil and the 2024 Série D. The bottom two teams in the first stage were relegated to the 2024 Série B Capixaba.[3]
