The 2020–21 - Serie A was the 26th edition of this competition organized by the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation through the National Competitions Unit. It will also be the 42nd edition of the Brazilian Women's Volleyball Championship, the main competition between women's volleyball clubs in Brazil.^[2]

Regulation[]

The qualifying phase of the competition will be disputed by twelve teams in two rounds. In each turn, all teams will play each other only once. The games in the second round will be played in the same order as the first, only with the court control reversed.

The top eight clubs qualify for the play-offs. At this stage, a 3-0 or 3–1 victory guarantees three points for the winner and no points for the loser. With a score of 3–2, the winner of the match adds two points and the loser one. The last two placed will be relegated to the .

In the following order the tiebreaker criteria will be: number of wins, sets average, points average; direct confrontation (in the case of a tie between two teams) and last draw. The play-offs will be divided into three phases - quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.

In the quarter-finals there will be a cross between the teams with the best technical indexes following the logic: 1st x 8th (A); 2nd x 7th(B); 3rd x 6th (C) and 4th x 5th (D). These will play best of 3 matches (games), with a field command for each and the tiebreaker, if necessary, in the gym of the team with the best technical index of the qualifying phase.

The semi-finals will be disputed by the teams that passed the quarter-finals, following the logic: winner of duel A vs. winner of duel D; winner of duel B x winner of duel C. These will again play best of 3 (games), with a field command for each and the tiebreaker, if necessary, in the gym of the team with the best technical index of the qualifying phase .

The winners qualify for the final, which will be best of 3 games in the first place status of the qualifying round. The third and fourth places were defined by the best technical index of the qualifying phase.

The tournament sets were played up to 25 points with a minimum difference of two points (with the exception of the fifth set, which was won by the team that scored 15 points with at least two points difference). There were technical stops on the 8th and 16th points of the team that reached them first.
