Teams

Initially, 18 teams were to take part in this season: the top 16 teams from the 2024 season plus the 2024 Copa Perú finalists Bentín Tacna Heroica and FC Cajamarca who will both play in the Liga 2 for the first time. However, in October 2024, Deportivo Municipal suffered revocation of its Liga 2 license and was relegated to 2025 Liga 3, decreasing the amount of teams from 18 to 17.^[1][2] Additionally, Ayacucho FC and Binacional's reincorporation into the Liga 1 from winning a judicial battle against the Peruvian Football Federation decreased the number of teams to 15.^[3]

2024 Liga 2 champions Alianza Universidad and runners-up Juan Pablo II College were promoted to the 2025 Liga 1. Juan Pablo II College were promoted for the first time in their history while Alianza Universidad were promoted for the first time since 2020. The promoted teams were replaced by Carlos A. Mannucci, Universidad César Vallejo, Unión Comercio who were relegated from the 2024 Liga 1. Deportivo Municipal, Carlos Stein, Juan Aurich, and Unión Huaral were relegated or disqualified to the Liga 3 in the 2024 season.

On December 19, 2024, UCV Moquegua changed its name to Club Deportivo Moquegua in order to give the team a new identity.^[4]

The following teams have changed division since the 2024 season:
