The 2020 Bolivian Primera División season, known as the 2020 Copa Tigo season for sponsorship reasons, is the 43rd season of Bolivia's top-flight football league and the third season under División de Fútbol Profesional management. Jorge Wilstermann are the defending champions, having won the 2019 Clausura tournament.

On 16 March, the Bolivian Football Federation decided to suspend both the División Profesional and División Aficionados tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]

Teams

The number of teams for the 2020 season remains the same as the previous season. Destroyers were relegated to the Copa Simón Bolívar after finishing in last place of the aggregate table in the previous season, with Sport Boys being disaffiliated from the league after failing to show up for their last game of the season. Both teams were replaced by Atlético Palmaflor and Real Santa Cruz, the 2019 Copa Simón Bolívar champions and runners-up, respectively.
