The season began on January 16 and ended on May 2, when Grêmio, despite losing the final match to their city rivals Internacional 0-1, clinched their 36th title is history thanks to their 2-0 win in the first match. The win broke a 2-year streak by Internacional. Other clubs like São José, Novo Hamburgo and Pelotas also caught the attention due to their overall record in the competition.
