The 2025 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional (known as the Liga 1 Te Apuesto 2025 for sponsorship reasons) will be the 109th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. The season is scheduled to begin on 7 February and end on 14 December 2025.[1] The fixture for the season was drawn on 14 January 2024.[2]

Universitario are the defending champions, having won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.

Teams

Initially, 17 teams were to take part in the league in this season: the top 15 teams from the 2024 season, plus the 2024 Liga 2 champions Alianza Universidad and runner-up Juan Pablo II College.[3] Juan Pablo II College got promoted for the first time in their history while Alianza Universidad appeared for the first time since 2020. However, Ayacucho and Binacional were both reinstated in the league after winning judicial cases against the Peruvian Football Federation, which increased the number of teams to 19.[4] The promoted teams replaced Carlos A. Mannucci, Universidad César Vallejo and Unión Comercio, who were relegated at the end of the previous season.
