The 2017 Campeonato Paulista de Futebol Profissional da Primeira Divisão - Série A1 will be the 116th season of São Paulo's top professional football league.

Format

• In the first stage the sixteen teams are drawn, with seeding, into four groups of four teams each, with each team playing once against the twelve clubs from the other three groups. After each team has played twelve matches, the top two teams of each group qualify for the quarter-final stage.
• After the completion of the first stage, the four clubs with the lowest number of points, regardless of the group, will be relegated to the Campeonato Paulista Série A2.
• If the four clubs with the lowest number of points are from the same group, the best third-placed club from the other groups will qualify for the quarter-final stage.
• Quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are played in a two-legged home and away fixture, with the best placed first stage team playing the second leg at home.^[1]
• In case of a draw in any knockout stage, the match will be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Tiebreakers
