The 2025 Bolivian Primera División season is the 47th season of the División Profesional del Fútbol Boliviano, Bolivia's top-flight football league and the seventh season under División de Fútbol Profesional management. The season began on 28 March and will end in December 2025.[1] Although the season was originally expected to begin on 14 February 2025,[2] delays in the resolution of disciplinary cases that could affect the club composition for the season eventually forced the start date to be moved to 30 March.[3]
Bolívar are the defending champions.
On 28 February 2025, Aurora was deducted 33 points ahead of the season, as punishment for the Gabriel Montaño case.[4]

Perspective
The format for the season was decided at a meeting of the División Profesional's Council on 11 March 2025, following the resolution of disciplinary cases involving the club Royal Pari and Aurora player Gabriel Montaño. The 2025 season will have two parallel tournaments starting on 30 March and ending in December: a double round-robin league competition in which the 16 participating teams will play each other twice for a total of 30 rounds, and a cup tournament named Copa Bolivia with a first stage in which the 16 teams will be drawn into four groups and a knockout stage involving the top teams in the first stage. The team topping the league tournament at the end of the season will be the División Profesional champion.[1]
The champions and runners-up of the league tournament will qualify for the 2026 Copa Libertadores group stage as Bolivia 1 and Bolivia 2, whilst the Copa Bolivia champions will qualify for the Copa Libertadores as Bolivia 3 and the runners-up of the latter tournament will claim the last berth to the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. The remaining international berths will be awarded to the best-placed teams in the league tournament, whilst the team placing last in this tournament will be relegated and the team placing second-from-bottom will have to play the relegation play-off against the Copa Simón Bolívar runner-up. No aggregate table will be considered for this season.[5]

Perspective
16 teams compete in the league for the 2025 season: the top 14 teams in the aggregate table of the 2024 Primera División season, along with ABB who promoted from the 2024 Copa Simón Bolívar and Totora Real Oruro, who took part in the promotion/relegation play-off. ABB achieved a first-ever promotion to the top tier on 1 December 2024, after winning the Copa Simón Bolívar title.[6] Meanwhile, Totora Real Oruro's first-ever promotion was confirmed on 6 January 2025, after the Bolivian Football Federation's Sports Disciplinary Court ruled the exclusion of Royal Pari from the competition following their abandonment of the second leg of the promotion/relegation play-off.[7]
ABB and Totora Real Oruro replaced Real Santa Cruz and Royal Pari, both relegated to the Santa Cruz regional league.[8][7]

- Used along with Estadio Municipal de Quillacollo as home stadiums for the season since Universitario's stadium Estadio Hipólito Lazarte does not meet FBF requirements for a professional match.
