The 2026 Liga de Primera, known as Liga de Primera Mercado Libre 2026 for sponsorship purposes,[1] is the 96th season of the Liga de Primera, Chile's top-flight football league. The season began on 30 January and is scheduled to end on 6 December 2026.[2][3]

Coquimbo Unido are the defending champions.

Format changes

Although the competition kept its usual double round-robin format with teams playing each other twice for a total of 30 matchdays, changes were made to the distribution of international berths due to the introduction of a new competition named Copa de la Liga starting from this season.

The Liga de Primera champions and runners-up will still qualify for the group stage of the 2027 Copa Libertadores, whilst the team placing third in the league will face the 2026 Copa Chile champions in a play-off match for a berth into the Copa Libertadores second stage. The teams placing from fourth to sixth will qualify for the 2027 Copa Sudamericana, with the loser of the play-off match between the third-placed team and the Copa Chile champions being entitled to claim the last Copa Sudamericana berth.[4]

Teams

Locations of the 2026 Liga de Primera teams – Santiago.

Sixteen teams take part in the league in this season: the top 14 teams from the 2025 Liga de Primera, plus the 2025 Primera B champions Universidad de Concepción and the winners of the Primera B promotion play-offs Deportes Concepción. Universidad de Concepción returned to the top tier after five years, clinching promotion as well as winning the Primera B tournament with a 3–0 victory over Deportes Copiapó on 1 November 2025,[5] whilst Deportes Concepción confirmed their first promotion to the top flight in 17 years after defeating Cobreloa in the promotion play-off finals on 7 December 2025.[6]

The promoted teams replaced Deportes Iquique, who were relegated after two seasons,[7] and Unión Española, relegated to the second tier after 28 years.[8]
