The 2010

Liga de Fútbol Profesional Boliviano season is the 34th season of Bolivia's top-flight professional football league. The season is split into two championships—the Apertura and the Clausura—and the Torneo de Invierno

Format

The 2009 season will be divided into two championships and a cup, each with their own format.[1]

Campeonato Apertura

The Apertura championship will be divided into two phases. The first phase will have the twelve teams divided into two groups. The teams will play within each group, in addition to a cross-group rivalry (for example: Oriente vs. Blooming). The best-three teams in each group will advance to the Winner's Hexagonal, while the rest of the teams will play the Loser's Hexagonal. In each hexagonal, each team will play within each group. The winner of the Winner's Hexagonal will be declared the champion and will qualify to 2011 Copa Libertadores with the Bolivia 2 berth. The runner-up will qualify to the 2011 Copa Sudamericana with the Bolivia 1 berth and the winner of the Loser's Hexagonal will qualify to 2010 Copa Sudamericana with the Bolivia 3 berth.

Torneo de Invierno

The Torneo de Invierno (English: Winter Tournament) will be what was traditionally known as the Play-Off. The first stage will have the twelve teams play against a local rival over two legs. The winners of each tie and the two best losers will advance to the quarterfinals. The cup will continue on a single-elimination basis with two legs per stage. The winner will qualify to the 2011 Copa Sudamericana as the Bolivia 3 berth.

Campeonato Clausura

The Clausura championship will be a double round-robin league format. The team with the most points after the twenty-two rounds will be declared the champion and will qualify to the 2011 Copa Libertadores as the Bolivia 1 berth. The runner-up will qualify to the 2011 Copa Libertadores as the Bolivia 3 berth and the third placed-team will qualify to the 2011 Copa Sudamericana with the Bolivia 2 berth.

Relegation

Relegation will be determined after the Clausura. The team with the worst two-year average will be relegated to the Regional Leagues, while the next-worst team will contest a playoff against the runner-up of the

2010 Copa Simón Bolívar
.

Teams

The number of teams for 2010 remains the same.
