The Campeonato Catarinense de Futebol Profissional da Série A de 2021, known as the 2021 Campeonato Catarinense, was the 96th season of Santa Catarina's top-flight football league. The season began on 24 February and ended on 26 May 2021.

On 3 March, FCF suspended the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. [1] Although the Campeonato Catarinense was suspended some postponed matches were played. The tournament resumed on 20 March. [2]

In the finals, Avaí defeated the defending champions Chapecoense 3–2 on aggregate to win their 18th title. [3]

Format

The tournament was contested between 12 teams, who first played in a single round-robin tournament. In the first stage, the bottom two teams were relegated to next year's Série B. The final stage was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. [4] Champions and runners-up qualified for the 2022 Copa do Brasil, while three teams qualified for the 2022 Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. [5]

Group A

Originally, the Group A would be played between the first stage winners Chapecoense and the 8th place Hercílio Luz. The match Hercílio Luz v Chapecoense, 0–0, was played on 25 April 2021 at Estádio Aníbal Torres Costa in Tubarão. The match Chapecoense v Hercílio Luz, 1–0, was played on 28 April 2021 at Arena Condá in Chapecó. Chapecoense won 1–0 on aggregate and qualified for the semi-finals. However, on 29 April 2021, the FCF announced that was investigating Hercílio Luz to find out if they potentially fielded an ineligible player ( Alisson) against Brusque in the first stage. Due to this, FCF suspended the semi-finals between Marcílio Dias and Chapecoense. [6]

On 4 May 2021, Hercílio Luz were deducted three points and sanctioned with a fine of R$15,000 (reduced later to R$10,000) after they were punished by Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva do Futebol de Santa Catarina (TJD–SC). TJD–SC also annulled the results of the quarter-finals between Chapecoense and Hercílio Luz and ordered that the quarter-finals be replayed between Chapecoense and the new 8th place Figueirense. [7]
