Teams and Structure Changes

edit

A total of 12 teams will contest the league, including 11 sides from the 2023–24 season and one team promoted from the Liga de Ascenso.

Like the previous season, the league has the following playoff format. The top 4 teams in the regular season will progress to a two-legged knockout tournament. If the same team that wins the regular season wins the playoff, that team wins the season championship immediately. Should a different team win the playoff than won the regular season, those two teams will meet in a two-legged Grand Final for the season championship.
