Twenty teams competed in the tournament, twelve returning from the 2019 season, four promoted from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C (Confiança, Juventude, Náutico and Sampaio Corrêa),[4] and four relegated from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (Avaí, Chapecoense, Cruzeiro and CSA).[5] This was the first Série B played by Cruzeiro in their history.[6]

Cruzeiro were deducted six points after their denial to pay the fee that was agreed upon with Emirati side Al Wahda over Denílson loan in 2016. Al Wahda decided to take this issue to FIFA and they won the case.[7]

The matches Chapecoense v CSA, scheduled for 12 August 2020 (2nd round),[8] CSA v Cuiabá, scheduled for 15 August 2020 (3rd round),[9] Sampaio Corrêa v Figueirense, scheduled for 19 August 2020 (4th round),[10] and Brasil de Pelotas v Sampaio Corrêa, scheduled for 23 August 2020 (5th round),[11] were postponed after 20 CSA and 14 Sampaio Corrêa players tested positive for COVID-19.

The top four teams were promoted to the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. América Mineiro and Chapecoense became the first two clubs to be promoted on 12 January 2021 after a 0–0 draw against Náutico and a 2–1 win against Figueirense, respectively.[12] Cuiabá was promoted on 22 January 2021,[13] and Juventude on 29 January 2021.[14]
