Overview

edit

It was contested by 24 teams, and Botafogo won the championship, the club's second Série A title in history.

Of the 24 participating teams, only two were relegated, Paysandu and União São João. Also only the first two teams from the Série B in 1995 would be qualified to the Série A in 1996. Fluminense, Palmeiras, Bragantino and Vasco da Gama all qualified to the Copa CONMEBOL, then the third major tournament of the continental zone, below the Copa Libertadores and the Supercopa Libertadores, the latter reserved only for previous champions of the former.

The eventual champions, Botafogo, together with Corinthians and Grêmio, qualified to the Copa Libertadores of 1996, the major South American cup tournament. Corinthians qualified by winning the Copa do Brasil in 1995 and Grêmio for being the holders of the Copa Libertadores title.
