Format changes
On 27 September 2024, the Council of Presidents of LigaPro approved changes to the format of competition for the 2025 season, aiming to have more matches played in the season. The tournament, which had 72 additional matches, had two stages: a first stage in which the 16 participating teams played each other twice, and a final stage in which the teams were split into two hexagonals and one quadrangular group according to their placements in the first stage. In the first hexagonal, the top six teams from the first stage played each other twice to decide the season champions as well as three Copa Libertadores berths and three Copa Sudamericana ones, while in the second hexagonal the next six teams played for the last berth to the Copa Sudamericana. The top team at the end of the first stage was assured of qualification for the Copa Libertadores group stage as Ecuador 2. Relegation was decided in a group that involved the four lowest-placed teams in the first stage, with the bottom two being relegated to the second tier at the end of the season. Points from the first stage were carried over to the final stage.Teams
Team changes
Sixteen teams competed in the season, the top 14 teams from the 2024 Ecuadorian Serie A and the top two teams of the 2024 Ecuadorian Serie B. Imbabura and Cumbayá were relegated from Serie A after finishing in the bottom two places of the aggregate table of the previous season and were replaced by the second tier champions Cuniburo and runners-up Manta. Cuniburo clinched a first-ever promotion to the top flight with three matches to go after a 2–0 loss for Guayaquil City against San Antonio on 13 October 2024, whilst Manta ensured a return to Serie A for the first time since 2021 with one match left on 24 October, after a 6–1 thrashing of Vargas Torres.On 7 November 2024, it was announced that Cuniburo would change its name to Vinotinto Ecuador starting from this season. The name change, approved by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Sports, was made after the club was acquired by the owners of Segunda Categoría club Vinotinto prior to the start of the 2024 season, and aimed to have the club reach out to the Venezuelan expatriate community in Ecuador.
