The 2024 Primera División season (officially the Copa de Primera Tigo – ueno bank 2024 for sponsorship reasons) was the 90th season of the Paraguayan Primera División, the top-flight professional football league in Paraguay. The season, which consisted of two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura), began on 19 January and ended on 29 November 2024. The fixtures for the season were announced on 4 December 2023.
