Torneo Apertura
The Torneo Apertura, named "Sr. Abdón Porte", will be the first tournament of the 2018 season. It is scheduled to begin on 3 February and end on April 29.
Relegation is determined at the end of the season by computing an average of the number of points earned per game over the two most recent seasons: 2017 and 2018. The three teams with the lowest average will be relegated to the Segunda División for the following season.
Peñarol will be coming in as defending champions
