Fortaleza defeated Sport 2–1 on aggregate in the finals to win their second title.[1] As champions, Fortaleza would qualify for the third round of the 2023 Copa do Brasil, but they qualified for the Copa do Brasil as Série A 8th place. Therefore, the Copa do Nordeste berth was awarded to the runners-up Sport.

Format edit

In this season, 12 teams (9 state league champions and best placed teams in the 2021 CBF ranking from Ceará, Bahia and Pernambuco) gained direct entries into the group stage while the other four berths were decided by the Eliminatórias Copa do Nordeste.[2]

For the group stage, the 16 teams were drawn into two groups. Each team played once against the eight clubs from the other group. Top four teams qualified for the final stages.
