The 2021 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Campeonato Uruguayo de Primera División 2021, is the 118th season of the Uruguayan Primera División, Uruguay's top-flight football league, and the 91st in which it is professional. The season, named "Dr. Tabaré Vázquez" after the late former President of Uruguay and chairman of Progreso from 1979 to 1989, started on 15 May and is scheduled to end on 19 December 2021 at the latest, with the starting date having been pushed back from early 2021 due to the late conclusion of the previous season owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2]
The tournament was originally scheduled to start on 8 May, however its date of start was postponed for a week to 15 May per request from the Uruguayan government.[3] Nacional are the defending champions.
Format changes
For the 2021 season, the competition is scheduled to run for eight months, from May to December, and will have a change from the previous editions with the elimination of the Torneo Intermedio which is usually played mid-way into the season and adds seven matchdays to the league schedule. This change is intended to leave extra time available to finish the season before the end of the year in the event the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic forces any suspension of matches in the course of the season. With that change, clubs will only play 15 matches in the Torneo Apertura and 15 matches in the Torneo Clausura, for a total of 30 matches in the season, as well as the ones belonging to the Championship playoff for the clubs that eventually qualify for it. Matches will only be scheduled on weekends, with mid-week dates to be used only if necessary due to the pandemic.[1]
Teams
The three lowest placed teams in the relegation table of the 2020 season, Defensor Sporting, Danubio, and Cerro, were relegated to the Segunda División for the 2021 season. They were replaced by Cerrito, Sud América, and Villa Española, who were promoted from the Segunda División.
