The 2025 Campeonato da Primeira Divisão de Futebol Profissional da FGF - Divisão Especial - Série A1, better known as the 2025 Campeonato Gaúcho (officially the Gauchão Superbet 2025 for sponsorship reasons), was the 105th season of Rio Grande do Sul's top flight football league. The competition was played from 22 January to 16 March 2025, with 12 clubs contesting the tournament.{{cite web|url=https://ge.globo.com/rs/futebol/campeonato-gaucho/noticia/2024/11/22/campeonato-gaucho-tem-formula-definida-para-2025-e-sorteia-grupos-saiba.ghtml|title=Campeonato Gaúcho muda fórmula e reduz datas para 2025; veja os grupos|trans-title=Campeonato Gaúcho changes formula and reduces dates for 2025; see the groups|publisher=globo.com|language=pt-BR|date=22 November 2024|accessdate=7 December 2024}}
Grêmio are the seven-time defending champions.
Format
The 2025 edition underwent a major revision to the rules, changing the format of the competition. The 12 teams were divided into three groups of four teams each, defined by drawing lots, with the three teams from the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A as the seeded teams in each group (Grêmio, Internacional and Juventude). During the first phase, each team will face teams from the other groups in a single round, totaling eight matches. The best-placed team in each group, along with the best second-placed team, will advance to the semi-finals.
The semifinals and final will be played in two-legged matches, without the qualifying goal difference criterion. In the event of a tie in goal difference at the end of the match, the decision will be made through penalty kicks. The video assistant referee will to be used from the semi-finals onwards.
The spots for the 2026 Copa do Brasil and the 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D will be decided through a quadrangular tournament – Taça Farroupilha –, to be played between the teams that place between fifth and eighth in the overall standings. The teams that place between ninth and twelfth will play in the relegation quadrangular, where the last two placed teams will be relegated to the 2026 Série A2. In both quadrangulars, all teams will face each other in one round, totaling three matches each.
This was the solution agreed between the Federação Gaúcha de Futebol and the clubs to adjust the state calendar to the Brazilian Football Confederation schedule in 2025, which foresees the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A from March to December and a break for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled to take place between 14 June and 13 July.
Teams
A total of 12 teams competed in the 2025 Série A1 season.
