Relegation is determined at the end of the season by computing an average of the number of points earned per game over the past three seasons. The team with the lowest average was relegated to the División Intermedia for the following season, while the team with the second lowest average played a double-legged relegation play-off against the 2021 Intermedia fourth placed team.{{cite web|url=https://d10.ultimahora.com/panorama-completo-los-torneos-paraguayos-n2921104.html|title=Panorama completo de los torneos paraguayos|language=Spanish|publisher=D10 Paraguay|date=2 January 2021|access-date=11 January 2021}}
