Format

First stage

The 2024 Módulo I first stage will be played by the ten teams participating in 2023 Módulo I not relegated, in addition to the two teams promoted from 2023 Módulo II. The 12 teams are divided into three groups of four teams in the first phase; the teams will play against those clubs in the other groups. At the end of the first phase, the leaders of the 3 groups plus the best second place overall qualify for the semifinals.

Knockout stage

The knockout phase features the 4 qualified teams from the previous phase in a two-legged tie in the semi-finals and the finals, where the team with the best seed has the right to choose the order of the legs. In the event of an aggregate draw, the team with the best record in the first phase progresses.

Relegation

According to the change made by the Federação Mineira de Futebol, the descent will be decided in a triangular disputed by the three teams with the worst overall campaign in the initial phase. That is, not necessarily the last one of a group will dispute the triangular one, being able to have made a better campaign compared to other teams of other groups.
