First stage

The 2021 Módulo I first stage was contested by 12 clubs in a single round-robin tournament. The four best-placed teams qualified for the final stage and the bottom two teams were relegated to the 2022 Módulo II.

The three best-placed teams not already qualified for the 2022 seasons of the Série A, Série B or Série C, gained berths in the 2022 Série D. The four best-placed teams qualified for the 2022 Copa do Brasil. If a team qualified for the Copa do Brasil by other means, its berth would be awarded to the Troféu Inconfidência champions.[4]

Knockout stage

The knockout stage was played between the 4 best-placed teams from the previous stage in a two-legged tie. In the semifinals and finals, higher-seeded team earned the right to choose the order of the legs. The away goals rule would not be used, and if two teams tied on aggregate goals, higher-seeded team would advance.[4]

Troféu Inconfidência

The Troféu Inconfidência was played between the 5th to 8th-placed teams from the previous stage. Originally, the Troféu Inconfidência would be played in a two-legged tie but, following an agreement with FMF, the qualified teams decided to play in a single-leg tie.[5] In the semifinals and final, higher-seeded team hosted the leg. If the score was level, the match would go straight to the penalty shoot-out to determine the winners.[6]
