The 2021 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional (known as the Liga 1 Movistar 2021 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 105th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. A total of 18 teams will be competing in the season, with Sporting Cristal coming in as defending champions. The season is scheduled to start on 26 February 2021,[1] with the draw scheduled to take place on 5 February 2021.[2]
Competition format
The format for this season was unveiled by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional on 16 January 2021. The season will be divided into three stages: Fase 1, Fase 2, and the Playoffs. In Fase 1, the 18 teams will be divided into two groups of nine with the winners of each group playing a final to decide the Fase 1 winner, while Fase 2 will be played under a single round-robin format with the 18 teams playing each other once.
The playoffs will be contested by the winners of Fase 1 and Fase 2, as well as the top two teams of the aggregate table, which will play two semifinals with the winners playing the final to decide the national champion. However, should a team win both stages of the competition, the playoffs will not be played and that team will be declared as champion. The bottom two teams of the aggregate table at the end of the season will be relegated, with the team placed in 16th place playing a relegation playoff against the Liga 2 runners-up.[3]
It is expected that, pending approval from the Peruvian government and health authorities, the competition will be played at the teams' respective home stadiums after health concerns by the COVID-19 pandemic caused the previous season to be concluded in Lima.[2]
Teams
18 teams will play in the 2021 Liga 1 season. The top seventeen teams in the 2020 Liga 1 will take part, along with the 2020 Liga 2 champions Alianza Atlético.
