2024 Uruguayan Primera División Season

The 2024 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Campeonato Uruguayo de Primera División 2024, was the 121st season of the Uruguayan Primera División, Uruguay's top-flight football league, and the 94th in which it is professional. The season, which was named " 100 años de Colombes", began on 16 February and ended on 2 December 2024.

Peñarol were the champions, winning their fifty-second league title after winning both the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura, as well as topping the season's aggregate table, which ensured that the championship playoff would not be played. They clinched the title after beating Fénix 3–1 on the final round of the Torneo Clausura played on 1 December. Liverpool were the defending champions.

Teams

16 teams competed in the season: the top thirteen teams in the relegation table of the 2023 season as well as three promoted teams from the Segunda División. The three lowest placed teams in the relegation table of the 2023 season ( Montevideo City Torque, Plaza Colonia and La Luz) were relegated to the Segunda División for the 2024 season. They were replaced by the Segunda División champions Miramar Misiones, runners-up Progreso, and the winners of the promotion play-offs Rampla Juniors.

Miramar Misiones, Progreso and Rampla Juniors returned to the top flight after nine, two and four seasons, respectively. On the other hand, La Luz were relegated after one season, Montevideo City Torque were relegated after four seasons and Plaza Colonia returned to the second tier after five seasons.

Relegation

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: 2023 and 2024. The three teams with the lowest average at the end of the season were relegated to the Segunda División for the following season.
