The 2021 Liga Profesional de Primera División season, also known as the Campeonato Uruguayo de Primera División 2021, was the 118th season of the Uruguayan Primera División, Uruguay's top-flight football league, and the 91st in which it is professional. The season, named "Dr. Tabaré Vázquez" after the late former President of Uruguay and chairman of Progreso from 1979 to 1989, started on 15 May and ended on 7 December 2021, with the starting date having been pushed back from early 2021 due to the late conclusion of the previous season owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/-como-se-juega-el-uruguayo-de-primera-en-la-temporada-2021-y-cuando-comienza--2021329153630|title=¿Cómo se juega el Uruguayo de Primera en la temporada 2021 y cuándo comienza?|publisher=El Observador|language=es|date=29 March 2021|access-date=5 April 2021}}{{cite web |url=https://www.futbol.com.uy/Deportes/Campeonato-Uruguayo-2021-se-denominara-Dr-Tabare-Vazquez-y-comenzara-el-8-de-mayo-uc783752|title=Campeonato Uruguayo 2021 se denominará "Dr. Tabaré Vázquez" y comenzará el 8 de mayo|publisher=Futbol.com.uy|language=es|date=15 April 2021|access-date=17 April 2021}}

Format changes

For the 2021 season, the competition was scheduled to run for eight months, from May to December, and had a change from the previous editions with the elimination of the Torneo Intermedio which is usually played midway into the season and adds seven matchdays to the league schedule. This change was intended to leave extra time available to finish the season before the end of the year in the event the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic forced any suspension of matches in the course of the season. With that change, clubs only played 15 matches in the Torneo Apertura and 15 matches in the Torneo Clausura, for a total of 30 matches in the season, as well as the ones belonging to the Championship playoff for the clubs that eventually qualified for it. Matches would only be scheduled on weekends, with mid-week dates to be used only if necessary due to the pandemic.

Since Peñarol, who had the best record in the aggregate table, won the semi-final, they became champions automatically and the finals were not played. Nacional became runners-up as the second-placed team in the aggregate table. Both teams qualified for the 2022 Copa Libertadores group stage.
