The 2024 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional (known as the Liga 1 Te Apuesto 2024 for sponsorship reasons) was the 108th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. A total of 18 teams competed in the season, which began on 26 January and ended on 3 November 2024. The fixture for the season was drawn on 8 January 2024.
The defending champions Universitario claimed their twenty-eighth league championship at the end of the season, winning both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments and thus avoiding to play the final stage of the season (playoffs). They clinched the title with a scoreless draw with Los Chankas and a 2âÂÂ1 defeat for Alianza Lima against Cusco on the final matchday of the Clausura tournament on 3 November.
18 teams took part in the league in this season, one less than the previous season: the top 16 teams from the 2023 tournament, plus the 2023 Liga 2 champions Comerciantes Unidos and runner-up Los Chankas. Los Chankas got promoted for the first time in their history and Comerciantes Unidos appeared for the first time since 2018. The promoted teams replaced Academia Cantolao, Binacional and Deportivo Municipal, who were relegated at the end of the previous season.

Since Universitario won both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, no playoff games were played and Universitario were declared as season champions. Sporting Cristal, as the team that placed second in the aggregate table, were declared as season runners-up and both teams qualified for the Copa Libertadores group stage.
