The 2026 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Liga AUF Uruguaya 2026, is the 123rd season of the Liga AUF Uruguaya, Uruguay's top-flight football league, and the 96th in which it is professional. The season, which was named "Juan Carlos de Lima",[1] began on 6 February 2026.[2]

Nacional are the defending champions.

Teams

[edit]

Sixteen teams compete in the season: the top thirteen teams in the relegation table of the 2025 season as well as three promoted teams from the 2025 Segunda División.

Team changes

[edit]

The three lowest placed teams in the relegation table of the 2025 season (Plaza Colonia, Miramar Misiones and River Plate) were relegated to Segunda División for the 2026 season.[3] They were replaced by the Segunda División champions Albion, the runners-up Central Español, and the winners of the promotion play-offs Deportivo Maldonado.

Albion returned to the top flight after four years, having participated for the last time in 2022,[4] while Central Español returned after a 13-year absence,[5] and Deportivo Maldonado returned after one season. On the other hand, Plaza Colonia were relegated after one season, Miramar Misiones returned to the second tier after two seasons, and River Plate ended a 21-year spell in the top flight.[6]

Torneo Intermedio

[edit]

The Torneo Intermedio, named "Héctor Castro",[1] was the second tournament of the 2026 season, played between the Apertura and Clausura tournaments. It consisted of two groups whose composition depended on the final standings of the Torneo Apertura, with the Apertura winners playing in Serie A along with the teams placing 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th, and last in the Apertura, and the remaining teams being placed in Serie B.

The tournament started on 15 May and ended on 5 August, being paused from 8 June to 5 July due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[51]

Peñarol won the tournament after defeating Montevideo Wanderers 5–1 in the final.[52] By winning the Torneo Intermedio, they qualified for the 2027 Supercopa Uruguaya and were assured of a berth into the 2027 Copa Sudamericana.

Notes:
  1. ↑ Peñarol qualified for the Copa Sudamericana first stage by winning the Torneo Intermedio. If they qualify for the Copa Libertadores, the Copa Sudamericana berth will pass to the aggregate table's highest-placed team not already qualified for South American competition.

Championship playoff

[edit]

The Torneo Apertura winners (Racing) will play a semi-final match against the Torneo Clausura winners, while the top team in the aggregate table will receive a bye to the finals, which will be played over two legs. If the Apertura or Clausura winners also place first in the aggregate table and win the semi-final match, the finals will not be played and they will win the league championship, and in the event that one team wins both the Apertura and Clausura, it will be awarded the league title and the championship playoff will be cancelled.

Both championship playoff finalists will qualify for the Copa Libertadores group stage, while the semi-final loser will be entitled to a Copa Sudamericana berth in case they do not qualify for the Copa Libertadores.
