Primera División de Fútbol Profesional – Apertura 2009

A total of 10 teams contested the league, with none getting relegated (relegation only occurs in Clausura tournaments). The season began on August 14, 2009 and concluded on December 20, 2009. The 10 teams of the Primera División played 18 matches, playing each team twice (home and away). The top four teams qualified directly to the semifinals. Since Vista Hermosa and Isidro Metapán finished with the same points at the end of the regular season, a knockout playoff match was played to determine the last team to advance to the playoffs. Vista Hermosa clinched the final spot for the playoffs with a 1–0 victory over Isidro Metapán.

Promoted from Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño.

• Champions: Atlético Marte
• Municipal Limeño (bought the spot of Chalatenango).

Relegated to Segunda División de Fútbol Salvadoreño.

• Last place: Juventud Independiente
• Chalatenango (sold their spot to Municipal Limeño).
