The 2023 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A2 (officially the Brasileirão Feminino Binance A2 2023 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 7th season of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A2, the second level of women's football in Brazil. The tournament was organized by CBF. It started on 15 April and ended on 10 July 2023.[2]
In the group stage, the 16 teams were divided into two groups of eight organized regionally. Top four teams qualified for the quarter-finals. From the quarter-finals on the competition was played as a knock-out tournament with each round contested over two legs.[8]
In the group stage, each team played on a single round-robin tournament. The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, the following criteria would be used to determine the ranking: 1. Wins; 2. Goal difference; 3. Goals scored; 4. Fewest red cards; 5. Fewest yellow cards; 6. Draw in the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (Regulations Article 15).[8]
The top four teams qualified for the quarter-finals, while the four teams with the lowest number of points, regardless of the group, were relegated to the 2024 Série A3.
The final stages were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the away goals rule would not be used, extra time would not be played, and the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners (Regulations Article 16). For the semi-finals and finals, the best-overall-performance team hosted the second leg.
The four quarter-finals winners were promoted to 2024 Série A1.[8]
