Participating teams
Before the start of the championship, Syrio e Libanez was suspended by AMEA for not having a stadium of its own (the team usually groundshared with Mangueira instead), and was replaced by Andarahy, that after being passed over for promotion in 1925, hadn't even disputed the Second level in 1926.
