In Group A, there are Corinthians, Palmeiras, Santos and São Paulo. In B, São Bernardo, Novorizontino, Red Bull Bragantino and Mirassol, respectively fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth placed in the 2025 Paulista.

At the end of the first phase, the best eight advance to the quarterfinals, in a single game, with ties decided on penalties.
