The 2008 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A was the 52nd edition of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. It began on May 8 and ended on December 7. For the first time, one club has won the championship three times in a row. Also, São Paulo has been crowned the biggest winner in the history of the competition, winning it six times since its establishment in 1971.

During the second half of the season, five teams were alternating positions inside the top five clubs in the table. Palmeiras took the lead on round 27, but only two rounds later Grêmio retained first position. Cruzeiro and Flamengo were also trying to reach the lead, but it was São Paulo who did it on round 33, after beating Internacional 3–0. The club managed to stay on the top until the last round, when their victory over Goiás 0–1 at Bezerrão Stadium in Brasília assured the title.[citation needed]

On the other side of the table, Ipatinga stayed inside relegation zone for 35 rounds, being relegated on round 37 after losing to Grêmio 4–1 at home. On the same day, a 2–2 tie against Sport drove Portuguesa into Série B. Both clubs had been promoted last season. On the last round, 4-time champions Vasco 0–2 loss to Vitória ended their hopes to stay in Série A. Meanwhile, despite defeating Internacional 3–1, Figueirense was relegated due to Atlético Paranaense 5–3 win against Flamengo in Curitiba and Náutico 0–0 draw against Santos in Recife.[citation needed]

Format

For the sixth season, the championship was contested in a double round-robin system. The team with most number of points has been declared champions. Also, the tournament was a qualifier to other South American competitions:

By winning the Copa do Brasil, Sport is already qualified to Copa Libertadores 2009 First Stage and cannot qualify to Copa Sudamericana 2009. Also, Internacional is qualified to the Copa Sudamericana 2009 by winning the 2008 edition.
