2023 Liga 1 (Peru)


The 2023 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional was the 107th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. A total of 19 teams competed in the season, which began on 3 February and ended on 8 November 2023. The season was originally scheduled to begin on 21 January, but the first two matchdays were postponed due to the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests.

Universitario were the champions, winning their twenty-seventh league title after defeating Alianza Lima in the two-legged final with a 3–1 aggregate score. Alianza Lima were the defending champions, having won back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022.

Playoffs

As the champions of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments were also the top two teams in the aggregate table, both teams qualified directly to the final, omitting the semifinal matches. Alianza Lima had the chance to decide the order of legs as the finalist better placed in the aggregate table.
