The championship had a break between the ninth and tenth rounds due to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which was held between June and July in Brazil.

In the last round, Palmeiras, despite only obtaining a draw in its last match, against Atlético Paranaense, guaranteed its survival in the first division after defeats of its competitors, Vitória and Bahia.

For the twelfth consecutive season, the tournament was played in a double round-robin system.

The Série A serves as a qualifier to CONMEBOL's 2015 Copa Libertadores.
