The 2022 Campeonato Cearense (officially the Cearense 1XBET 2022 for sponsorship reasons)[1] is the 108th edition of Ceará's top professional football league organized by FCF. The competition began on 8 January and will end on 3 April 2022.[2] Fortaleza are the defending champions.

After Sportradar found evidence of match fixing, on 16 February 2022, the FCF and the Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva do Futebol do Ceará (TJDF-CE) decided to suspend Crato from the tournament.[3] Therefore, the last match of the first stage Crato v Ferroviário, scheduled for 19 February 2022, was not played and Ferroviário was awarded a 3–0 win.[4]

On 22 February 2022, Icasa were denounced by Atlético Cearense before the TJDF-CE for fielding in the match Iguatu v Icasa played on 19 February 2022 (14th round).[5] He was booked three times during the tournament (against Crato, Ferroviário and Maracanã) and was ineligible for the match against Iguatu. Later, Maracanã and Icasa asked the TJDF-CE to expel Crato from the tournament instead of suspending them. With this request, all the matches played by Crato would be annulled and replaced by 3–0 wins, which would allow Maracaná to qualify for the quarter-finals and avoid the possible relegation of Icasa. As the first legs of the semifinals were scheduled for 6 and 8 March 2022, the TJDF-CE suspended the Campeonato Cearense from 6 to 11 March 2022 until the judgement of the case.[6] Although the announcement of the suspension was made while Caucaia and Iguatu were playing the first leg of their semi-final, the match was finished. On 7 March 2022, the STJD (Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva) authorized the FCF to continue with the tournament as initially scheduled.[7] Days later, the TJDF-CE also authorized the normal development of the tournament until the match fixing investigation ends.[8]

Format[]

In the first stage the teams (except the teams that participated in the 2022 Copa do Nordeste, Ceará and Fortaleza) played the other teams on a home-and-away round-robin tournament. Top two teams advanced to the semi-finals, while third and fourth places advanced to the quarter-finals. The bottom two teams were relegated to 2023 Campeonato Cearense Série B. First stage winners qualified for the . Ceará and Fortaleza started their participation in the quarter-finals.

Quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out will be used to determine the winners. A draw will be held to determine the home-and-away teams for the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, while for the finals, the team with best performance in the semi-finals will host the second leg. Champions will qualify for the 2023 Copa do Brasil.[9]
