The 2017 Copa do Brasil will be the 29th edition of the Copa do Brasil football competition. The competition will be contested by 88 teams, either qualified through participitating their respective state championships (70), by the 2017 CBF ranking (10) or those qualified for 2017 Copa Libertadores (6). Those 6 clubs will enter the competition in the round of 16. It will be held between February 8 and October 12.[2]
Format
The competition is a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties. In the first two rounds, if the away team wins the first match by 2 or more goals, it progresses straight to the next round avoiding the second leg. The away goals rule is also used in the Copa do Brasil, with the exception of finals. The winner qualifies for the 2018 Copa Libertadores.
