The 2026 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional (known as the Liga 1 Te Apuesto 2026 for sponsorship reasons) is the 110th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. The season started on 30 January 2026, and the fixture draw was held on 9 January 2026.[1][2]

Universitario are the defending champions, having won three titles in a row in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Teams

Eighteen teams take part in this season, one less than the previous season: the top 16 teams of the 2025 tournament, plus the 2025 Liga 2 champions Cajamarca and runner-up Deportivo Moquegua. Both Cajamarca and Deportivo Moquegua got promoted for the first time in their history. The promoted teams replaced Ayacucho, Alianza Universidad and Binacional, who were relegated at the end of the previous season.[3] Binacional were disqualified from the previous season on 19 August 2025, and were relegated to the Liga 2.[4]

If one team wins both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, it will be crowned as champion, and the playoffs will instead be held to decide the season's runner-up and will be contested by the next best three teams in the aggregate table.[64]
