On 15 March 2020, FMF suspended the Campeonato Mineiro indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.[2] Complying with the guidelines of the Governo do Estado de Minas Gerais, the tournament resumed behind closed doors on 26 July 2020.[3]

Atlético Mineiro won their 45th Campeonato Mineiro title after defeating Tombense 3–1 on aggregate.[4]

Cruzeiro were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the first stage.

Format

First stage

The 2020 Módulo I first stage was played by 12 clubs in a single round-robin tournament. The four best-placed teams qualified for the final stage and the bottom two teams were relegated to the 2021 Módulo II.

The three best-placed teams not already qualified for the 2021 seasons of the Série A, Série B or Série C, gained berths in the 2021 Série D. The four best-placed teams qualified for the 2021 Copa do Brasil. If a team qualified for the Copa by other means, their berth would be passed down to the next best-placed team.[5]

Knockout stage

The knockout stage was played between the 4 best-placed teams from the previous stage in a two-legged tie. In the semifinals and finals, higher-seeded team earned the right to choose the order of the legs. The away goals rule was not used, and if two teams tied on aggregate goals, higher-seeded team would advance.[5]

Troféu Inconfidência

The Troféu Inconfidência was played between the 5th to 8th-placed teams in a single-elimination tournament. If tied, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner.[5]
