2021 Liga 1 (Peru)#Relegation playoff

The format for this season was unveiled by the Liga de Fútbol Profesional on 16 January 2021. The season was divided into three stages: Fase 1, Fase 2, and the Playoffs. In Fase 1, the 18 teams were drawn into two groups of nine with the winners of each group playing a final to decide the Fase 1 winner, while Fase 2 was played under a single round-robin format with the 18 teams playing each other once.

The playoffs were to be contested by the winners of Fase 1 and Fase 2, as well as the top two teams of the aggregate table, which would play two semifinals with the winners playing the final to decide the national champion. If the Fase 1 or Fase 2 winners also ended up in the top two of the aggregate table, they would get a bye to the finals. However, in case a team won both stages of the competition, the playoffs would not be played and that team would be declared as champion. The bottom two teams of the aggregate table at the end of the season were relegated, with the team placed in 16th place playing a relegation playoff against the Liga 2 runners-up.{{cite web |url=https://peru.as.com/peru/2021/01/17/futbol/1610889897_319922.html|title=Liga 1 de Perú 2021: fechas, fases, equipos y cómo es el nuevo formato|language=Spanish|publisher=AS Perú|date=17 January 2021|access-date=18 January 2021}}

It was expected that, pending approval from the Peruvian government and health authorities, the competition would be played at the teams' respective home stadiums after health concerns by the COVID-19 pandemic caused the previous season to be concluded in Lima. However, the Fase 1 and later the Fase 2 were confirmed to be played entirely in the Peruvian capital, with the return of province teams to their home stadiums expected for 2022.{{cite web |url=https://rpp.pe/futbol/descentralizado/liga-1-2021-fecha-de-inicio-fases-equipos-y-todo-sobre-el-inicio-del-torneo-peruano-liga-1-betsson-futbol-peruano-noticia-1325435|title=Liga 1 2021: Fecha de inicio, fases, equipos y todo sobre el inicio del torneo peruano|language=Spanish|publisher=RPP Noticias|date=12 March 2021}}{{cite web |url=https://elperuano.pe/noticia/124815-vuelve-el-futbol|title=Vuelve el fútbol|language=Spanish|publisher=El Peruano|date=17 July 2021}}

18 teams played in the 2021 Liga 1 season. The top seventeen teams in the 2020 Liga 1 took part, along with the 2020 Liga 2 champions Alianza Atlético.

Alianza Lima won 1–0 on aggregate.

The relegation playoff was originally played by Binacional, as the team placed 16th in the Liga 1 aggregate table and the Liga 2 Revalidación winners Carlos Stein, with Carlos Stein winning on penalties after a 1–1 draw on aggregate. However, on 20 January 2022 the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned a ruling by the FPF in which Cusco were awarded a 3–0 win in their Fase 2 match against Cienciano which had originally ended in a 2–2 draw. Due to this, Cusco fell to 17th place in the aggregate table and were relegated to Liga 2, while Binacional moved up one place to 15th and were reinstated in Liga 1.{{cite news|url=https://depor.com/futbol-peruano/descentralizado/liga-1-binacional-jugara-en-primera-division-segun-el-fallo-emitido-por-el-tas-fotos-nczd-noticia/|title=Se queda en la Liga 1: Binacional jugará en Primera División, según fallo del TAS|publisher=Depor|language=es|date=20 January 2022|access-date=21 January 2022}}

On 21 January 2022, the FPF confirmed that they would abide by the CAS ruling and also ruled out a replay of the relegation playoff series, this time between Carlos Stein and Universidad San Martín who went up to 16th place in the aggregate table as an effect of this ruling, with which Universidad San Martín also avoided relegation whilst Carlos Stein's promotion was confirmed.{{cite news|url=https://depor.com/futbol-peruano/fpf-oficializo-que-binacional-se-mantiene-en-la-liga-1-mientras-que-cusco-fc-desciende-a-la-segunda-division-tras-el-tas-nczd-noticia/|title=Binacional se queda en Liga 1; Cusco FC desciende a Liga 2: el comunicado de FPF|publisher=Depor|language=es|date=21 January 2022|access-date=21 January 2022}}
