Overview

• Universitario lead the Clausura and remain the only side that controls its path to the tournament win and the national title without a championship playoff.
• As stipulated by the Liga1 2025 rulebook, playoffs will still be held to award the subchampion and determine Peru’s Copa Libertadores slots.
• The format sends the second place in the aggregate table directly to the playoff final, while third and fourth meet in a two-legged semifinal decided by goal difference and, if needed, penalties.
• As of matchday 13, Cusco FC sit second with a direct berth to the final, and Alianza Lima (third) and Sporting Cristal (fourth) would contest the semifinal.
• Based on current positions, the semifinal would open at the Estadio Nacional and conclude at Alejandro Villanueva, with the final closing in Cusco’s Garcilaso de la Vega; the winner earns Peru 2 (group stage), while the final and semifinal losers take Peru 3 and Peru 4 in preliminary rounds.
