Notes

Torneo Competencia

The Torneo Competencia, named "Héctor Peri", was the first stage of the tournament. The 14 participating teams were divided into two groups of seven where they played each one of the teams in their group under a single round-robin format. The winners of each group advanced to the final, with the winner being assured of a berth into the promotion play-offs.[4] Originally, the participating clubs had decided not to hold the Torneo Competencia in this season, however it was eventually reinstated after a vote prior to the start of the season.[2]

Final

Regular stage

In the regular stage, the 14 teams will play each other twice under a double round-robin format for a total of 26 matches. Teams carried over their Torneo Competencia performances to this stage. The top two teams at the end of the regular stage will be promoted to the Uruguayan Primera División, while the teams placing from third to sixth place will advance to the promotion play-offs.[4]
