The 2025 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Liga AUF Uruguaya 2025, 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",àbegan on 31 January and ended on 30 November 2025.
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.
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.
The Torneo Apertura, named "Eduardo Arsuaga", was the first tournament of the 2025 season. It began on 31 January and ended on 19 May 2025.
The Torneo Intermedio, named "MathÃÂas Acuña", 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. The tournament started on 23 May and ended on 6 July, and the winners were assured of a berth into the 2026 Copa Sudamericana and the 2026 Supercopa Uruguaya.
The Torneo Clausura, named "José Ignacio Villarreal", was the third and final tournament of the 2025 season. It began on 1 August and ended on 9 November 2025.
The Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura winners (Liverpool and Peñarol, respectively) played a semi-final match, while the top team in the aggregate table (Nacional) received a bye to the finals. The championship playoff finalists qualified for the Copa Libertadores group stage.
Nacional won 3âÂÂ2 on aggregate.

Relegation was determined at the end of the season by computing an average of the total of points earned per game over the two most recent seasons: 2024 and 2025. The three teams with the lowest average at the end of the season were relegated to the Segunda División for the following season.
