The 2004

Alianza Lima won its twenty-first Primera División title after beating Sporting Cristal
in the final playoff.

Changes from 2003

Structural changes

The number of teams for the 2004 season grew from 12 to 14. The relegation system was re-introduced but the system was determined by a points per match average. The qualification for the Copa Sudamericana was determined by the aggregate table instead of the Torneo Apertura playoffs. Due to a structure change in the Copa Libertadores, only two teams will qualify directly to the group stage (the half-year champions) and the best-placed non-champion will have to play in the first stage.

Promotion and relegation

No teams were relegated from the 2003 season and thus the number of teams grew from 12 to 14.
