The 2025 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Liga AUF Uruguaya 2025,[1] was the 122nd season of the Uruguayan Primera División, Uruguay's top-flight football league, and its 95th professional season. The season, which was named "Juan Manuel Izquierdo",[2] began on 31 January and ended on 30 November 2025.[3][4]

Nacional were the champions, winning their fiftieth league championship after topping the season's aggregate table and defeating the defending champions Peñarol in the finals.[5]

Teams

16 teams competed in the season: the top thirteen teams in the relegation table of the 2024 season as well as three promoted teams from the Segunda División. The three lowest placed teams in the relegation table of the 2024 season (Rampla Juniors, Fénix and Deportivo Maldonado) were relegated to the Segunda División for the 2025 season. They were replaced by the Segunda División champions Plaza Colonia, the runners-up Montevideo City Torque, and the winners of the promotion play-offs Juventud.

Plaza Colonia and City Torque both returned to the top flight after one season and Juventud played in Primera División for the first time since 2019, while Rampla Juniors were relegated after one season, Fénix returned to the second tier after a 14-year spell in Primera División, and Deportivo Maldonado were relegated after five seasons.

Torneo Intermedio

The Torneo Intermedio, named "Mathías Acuña",[2] was the second tournament of the 2025 season, played between the Apertura and Clausura tournaments. Although it consists of two groups whose composition depends on the final standings of the Torneo Apertura, a change in that composition was made starting from this season: the Apertura winners played in Serie A along with the teams placing 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th, and last in the Apertura, whilst the remaining teams played in Serie B, instead of having the teams in odd-numbered positions playing in Serie A and those in even-numbered positions playing in Serie B, as it had been played since its inception.[51] The tournament started on 23 May and ended on 6 July,[52] and the winners were assured of a berth into the 2026 Copa Sudamericana and the 2026 Supercopa Uruguaya.
