Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (RQ) = Qualified to the relegation tournament indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.

Championship playoff

Peñarol and Defensor Sporting qualified to the championship playoffs as the Apertura and Clausura winners, respectively. Additionally, Peñarol re-qualified as the team with the most points in the season aggregate table. Given this situation, an initial playoff was held between the two teams. Peñarol would become the season champion with a win; Defensor Sporting needed to win the playoff to force a two-legged final.
