2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B
The 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B will be a football competition held in Brazil, equivalent to the second division. The competition was originally scheduled to begin on 2 May and end on 28 November, however due to COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was rescheduled for 7 August 2020–30 January 2021.
Twenty teams will compete in the tournament, twelve returning from the 2019 season, four promoted from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, and four relegated from the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. This will be the first Série B played by Cruzeiro in their history.
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.
The top four teams will be promoted to the 2021 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
