The 2020 Copa do Nordeste is the 17th edition of the main football tournament featuring teams from the Brazilian Northeast Region. The competition features 16 clubs, with Bahia, Ceará and Pernambuco having two seeds each, and Rio Grande do Norte, Sergipe, Alagoas, Paraíba, Maranhão and Piauí with one seed each. Four teams were decided by a qualifying tournament (Pré-Copa do Nordeste).

The 2020 Copa do Nordeste champions will have a berth in the Round of 16 of the 2021 Copa do Brasil.

Fortaleza are the defending champions.

On 17 March 2020, CBF suspended the Copa do Nordeste indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic in Brazil.[1]

In this season, 12 teams (9 state league champions and best placed teams in the 2019 CBF ranking from Bahia, Ceará and Pernambuco) gained direct entries into the group stage while the other four berths were decided by the Pré-Copa do Nordeste.[2]

For the group stage, the 16 teams were drawn into two groups. Each team will play once against the eight clubs from the other group. Top four teams will qualify for the final stages. Quarter-finals and semi-finals will be played on a single-leg basis and finals will be played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.[3]
