Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

On 12 March 2020, Uruguayan Football Association president Ignacio Alonso announced that the fourth round of the Torneo Apertura, scheduled for the weekend of 14–15 March, would be played behind closed doors. In his statement through social media, Alonso said that the decision had been made in conjunction with the Uruguayan government in conversations with President Luis Lacalle Pou and National Secretary for Sport Sebastián Bauzá.{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com.co/futbol/uruguay/nota/_/id/6848880/a-un-mes-de-la-suspension-del-futbol-uruguayo-por-coronavirus|title=A un mes de la suspensión del fútbol uruguayo por coronavirus|publisher=ESPN|language=es|date=13 April 2020|access-date=15 August 2020}} However, the next day, following the suspension of all public events until further notice ordered by the Uruguayan government due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the AUF announced the indefinite suspension of all of its tournaments, including the Primera División.{{cite web |url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Coronavirus-Se-suspendio-el-Apertura-de-futbol-y-la-Liga-Uruguaya-de-Basquetbol-uc746934|title=Coronavirus: Se suspendió el Apertura de fútbol y la Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=13 March 2020}}

On 22 May, the health protocol elaborated by the AUF in conjunction with four physicians was approved by 13 out of the 16 Primera División clubs.{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/los-clubes-aprobaron-el-protocolo-de-auf-aunque-estan-preocupados-por-el-costo-de-los-tests-2020523152710|title=Los clubes aprobaron el protocolo de AUF, aunque están preocupados por el costo de los tests|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=5 June 2020|access-date=15 August 2020}} On 4 June, Uruguay's Ministry of Public Health approved the health protocol submitted by AUF on 26 May for the return of activity. The protocol contemplated the application of COVID-19 tests in every club from 8 to 10 June, and the start of individual training on 15 June,{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/ahora-si-es-oficial-auf-tiene-las-fechas-para-el-regreso-a-los-entrenamientos-20206522851|title=Ahora sí es oficial: AUF tiene las fechas para el regreso a los entrenamientos|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=5 June 2020|access-date=8 June 2020}} with the competition being set to resume between 1 and 15 August, pending final approval from the Uruguayan government.{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/la-vuelta-del-futbol-puede-adelantarse-para-el-1-de-agosto-2020524174523|title=La vuelta del fútbol puede adelantarse para el 1° de agosto|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=24 May 2020|access-date=8 June 2020}}

Despite the AUF's efforts to resume competition on 1 August, on 15 July, following a meeting between representatives from the Uruguayan government and the governing body, it was confirmed that the tournament would resume on 8 August 2020.{{cite web |url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Futbol-El-Apertura-retornara-el-8-de-agosto-mientras-que-el-clasico-sera-el-domingo-9-uc758629|title=Fútbol: El Apertura retornará el 8 de agosto, mientras que el clásico será el domingo 9|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=15 July 2020|access-date=17 July 2020}}

On 26 September, the match between Liverpool and Nacional scheduled for that same day was suspended due to the presence of one positive COVID-19 case in Nacional's squad, which prompted the Ministry of Public Health to decree a mandatory quarantine for the entire team.{{cite web |url=https://www.tenfield.com.uy/suspendido-liverpool-nacional/|title=Suspendido Liverpool-Nacional|publisher=Tenfield|language=es|date=26 September 2020}} The match was eventually rescheduled by AUF to 3 October.{{cite web |url=https://www.tenfield.com.uy/liverpool-nacional-sabado-15-30-hs/|title=Liverpool-Nacional, sábado a las 15:30 hs.|publisher=Tenfield|language=es|date=30 September 2020}}

The fifth round of the Torneo Intermedio, originally scheduled to be held in the weekend of 14–15 November, was postponed after the entire squads of Danubio and Boston River were forced to isolate by health authorities due to Danubio footballer Rodrigo Piñeiro testing positive for COVID-19.{{cite web |url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Torneo-Intermedio-Se-suspendio-toda-la-quinta-fecha-por-positivo-de-COVID-19-en-Danubio-uc770523|title=Torneo Intermedio: Se suspendió toda la quinta fecha por positivo de COVID-19 en Danubio|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=13 November 2020|access-date=15 November 2020}} Further Torneo Intermedio matches involving Danubio, Defensor Sporting, and Rentistas, as well as the tournament's final between Nacional and Montevideo Wanderers were also postponed due to the confirmation of COVID-19 cases in those teams.{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/el-covid-19-marca-la-cancha-suspendieron-dos-partidos-del-intermedio-202012911730|title=El covid-19 marca la cancha: suspendieron dos partidos del Intermedio|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=9 December 2020|access-date=19 December 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/la-auf-suspendio-la-final-del-intermedio-entre-nacional-y-wanderers-20201218185537|title=La AUF suspendió la final del Intermedio entre Nacional y Wanderers|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=18 December 2020}}

With the repeated suspensions and postponements of matches and rounds of the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing the extension of the 2020 season to April 2021, meaning that the league would not be concluded before the start of the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana qualifying stages, on 14 January 2021 the League Council of the Uruguayan Football Association approved a temporary modification to the method of qualification to CONMEBOL competitions of Uruguayan clubs. Since associations must formally inform CONMEBOL of the clubs that will take part in international competition in advance to the start of competition, some international berths were decided based on deadlines set according to the dates the respective Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana rounds were scheduled to be held on as well as the placements of clubs in the aggregate table at the time of those deadlines.

In that vein, the Uruguay 4 and Uruguay 3 berths to the Copa Libertadores, which are usually awarded to the best clubs in the aggregate table other than the league champions and runners-up, were awarded to the best eligible clubs in the aggregate table as of 7 and 21 February 2021, respectively, considering that the Copa Libertadores first and second stages were scheduled to begin on 23 February and 9 March 2021, respectively. In all cases, clubs were offered the chance to accept or decline the berths they were eligible for at the time of the respective deadlines.{{cite web|url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/AUF-Consejo-de-Liga-aprobo-el-regimen-especial-para-la-clasificacion-a-las-copas-uc775630|title=AUF: Consejo de Liga aprobó el régimen especial para la clasificación a las copas|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|date=14 January 2021|access-date=1 February 2021}}

Torneo Clausura

The Torneo Clausura, named "Sr. Julio César Road", was the third and last tournament of the 2020 season. Due to the schedule disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a proposal to change its format and play it with two groups of eight teams, akin to the Torneo Intermedio, however on 23 December 2020 the AUF's League Council decided to play it under its normal single-round robin format.{{cite web|url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/AUF-Consejo-de-Liga-resolvio-que-Torneo-Clausura-se-juegue-de-forma-habitual-15-fechas-uc773968|title=AUF: Consejo de Liga resolvió que Torneo Clausura se juegue de forma habitual: 15 fechas|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=24 December 2020|access-date=7 January 2021}} It began on 16 January 2021 and ended on 29 March 2021.
