The 1954 Campeonato Paulista da Primeira Divisão,[1] organized by the Federação Paulista de Futebol, was the 53rd season of São Paulo's top professional football league. Corinthians won the title for the 15th time. Juventus and Ypiranga were relegated. For the second consecutive season, Palmeiras's Humberto Tozzi was the top scorer with 36 goals.[1][2]

Championship

[edit]

The championship was disputed in a double-round robin system, with the team with the most points winning the title and the two teams with the fewest points being relegated.[1][2] In that season, São Bento de São Caetano entered the championship, that team being the product of a merge between Comercial and São Caetano EC.
