First stage:
- The teams are divided in two groups of six teams.
- Double round-robin, in which all teams from one group play home-and-away games against all teams within the group.
- Home-and-away playoff with the top teams of each group. The winner is crowned the champion of the first stage.
- The teams last placed in each group are relegated to the second division.
Second stage:
- The teams are divided in two groups of five teams.
- Double round-robin, in which all teams from one group play home-and-away games against all teams of the other group.
- Home-and-away playoff with the top teams of each group. The winner is crowned the champion of the second stage.
Third stage (if necessary):
- Home-and-away playoff with the winners of the first and second stages.
If a team wins both stages (first and second) it is crowned the champion. If not, the third stage is disputed, and the winner is the champion.

Notes
- Operário and Comercial from Campo Grande, Ubiratan from Dourados, and Corumbaense from Corumbá, disputed the Campeonato Matogrossense before the split of Mato Grosso do Sul, occurred in 1979.
- Due to financial problems, Operário Várzea-Grandense (also known as CEOV) withdrew from professional football in 1996. As it is one of the clubs with the most fans in the state, EC Operário was created with the same colors (red and green) as the traditional CEOV. Despite being state champion (1997), the club did not receive the expected support and closed its activities in 2002. Another club with a similar name was created (Operário Futebol Ltda.), this time with red and black colors in honor of CR Flamengo, and has won the 2006 tournament. Operário Ltda. currently competes in the second division and the original CEOV returned to professional football in 2013.[4]
