The 1963 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A (officially the 1963 Taça Brasil) was the 6th edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[1]

Format

The competition was a single elimination knockout tournament featuring two-legged ties, with a Tie-Break (play-off) if the sides were tied on points (however, if the tie-break was a draw, the aggregate score of the first two legs was used to determine the winner).

Teams

Twenty state champions qualified for the tournament including, for the first time, the champions of the Federal District and Goiás.
