The top six teams as well as the 2019 Copa do Brasil champions qualified for the Copa Libertadores. The next six best-placed teams not qualified for Copa Libertadores qualified for the Copa Sudamericana and the last four were relegated to Série B for 2020. Palmeiras were the defending champions. During the 2019 season, the official match ball was the Nike Merlin CBF.

Flamengo secured their sixth league title with four matches to spare on 24 November and just one day after winning the 2019 Copa Libertadores, following Palmeiras' 2–1 loss to Grêmio at home.
