The championship play-offs were contested by teams ranked 1st to 6th in the regular stage, the 6 teams played in a hexagonal where they faced other teams once for a total of 5 matches per team. The top four teams from the hexagonal advanced to the single-leg semi-finals with teams ranked 1st and 2nd hosting the matches. Winners of semi-finals played the finals on a home-and-away two-legged basis to decide the national champion, while losers played the single-leg third place play-off. Originally, the final was scheduled to be played in Lima on a single-leg format.[5]

The relegation play-offs were contested by teams ranked 7th to 13th in the regular stage, the 7 teams played in a heptagonal where they faced other teams once for a total of 6 matches per team. After the last matchday, the team placed 7th was relegated to the
