The competition began on 10 January and ended on 2 April 2023. Atlético de Alagoinhas were the defending champions but they were eliminated in the group stage.
Bahia defeated Jacuipense 4–1 on aggregate obtaining their 50th title. As champions, Bahia qualified for the 2024 Copa do Brasil and the 2024 Copa do Nordeste.
Format In the first stage, each team played the other nine teams in a single round-robin tournament. Top four teams advanced to the semi-finals. The bottom two teams were relegated to the 2024 Campeonato Baiano Série B.
The final stage was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis with the best overall performance team hosting the second leg. If tied on aggregate, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winners.
