Nacional-AM and CSA competed in a Série D playoff to determine promotion to Série C. Following a 3-1 victory for Nacional-AM in the first leg on August 27 at the Arena da Amazônia, the return match took place on September 3 at the Rei Pelé stadium in Maceió. The second leg ended in a 0-0 draw, allowing Nacional-AM to maintain a 3-1 aggregate lead and secure promotion to the 2027 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. This victory marks Nacional’s return to the third division after a 20-year absence and makes them the final team to qualify for an expanded Série C, which will increase from 20 to 24 teams for the 2027 season. The decisive match carried significant emotional weight for Nacional-AM goalkeeper Igor Rayan, who returned to the lineup to play shortly after the passing of his father. As a result of the loss, CSA will remain in Série D for the 2027 season. The match was characterized by tension, as dissatisfied CSA supporters reportedly threw objects at players and staff while exiting the field following the final whistle.
