Format
First Division 2010
The Campeonato Alagoano is divided into three stages.
- First stage: double round-robin, in which all teams play each other home-and-away games. The first place wins a spot on the third stage.
- Second stage: home-and-away playoff with the top 4 teams of the first stage (1st place x 4th place, 2nd place x 3rd place).
- Third stage: home-and-away playoff between the winner of the first stage and the second stage. If the same team wins both the first and second stages, it is declared the Campeonato Alagoano champion.
The worst two teams after the first stage are relegated to the second division.
The format can change every year.
