Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (officially the Brasileirão Assaí 2018 for sponsorship reasons) was the 62nd season of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top level of professional football in Brazil, and the 15th edition in a double round-robin since its establishment in 2003. The season began on 14 April 2018 and ended on 2 December 2018. The top six teams as well as the 2018 Copa do Brasil champions qualified to 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 in 2019.
Palmeiras won their 10th title, which is the most titles in the tournament.
Twenty teams competed in the league – the top sixteen teams from the previous season, as well as four teams promoted from the Série B.
América Mineiro became the first club to be promoted after a 1–2 win against Figueirense on 11 November 2017.[1] Internacional was promoted on 14 November 2017,[2] and Paraná and Ceará were promoted on 18 November 2017.[3][4]
