2025 FBF División Profesional

The 2025 FBF División Profesional was the 47th season of the División Profesional del Fútbol Boliviano, Bolivia's top-flight football league and the seventh season under División de Fútbol Profesional management. The season began on 28 March and ended on 15 December 2025. Although the season was originally expected to begin on 14 February 2025, delays in the resolution of disciplinary cases that could affect the club composition for the season eventually forced the start date to be moved to 28 March.

Always Ready were the champions, winning their fourth league title on the penultimate matchday of the season after defeating Guabirá 6–0 on 11 December 2025. Bolívar were the defending champions.

On 28 February 2025, Aurora were deducted 33 points ahead of the season, as punishment for the Gabriel Montaño case. Due to that point deduction, Aurora had been mathematically relegated to the Cochabamba regional league with five matches left in the season after losing to GV San José on 21 November. However, the ruling was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on 19 December following an appeal lodged by Aurora, which meant that Aurora went up to tenth place with 37 points and Jorge Wilstermann went from second to last place to last, being relegated directly to the regional leagues.

The format for the season was decided at a meeting of the División Profesional's Council on 11 March 2025, following the resolution of disciplinary cases involving the club Royal Pari and Aurora player Gabriel Montaño. The 2025 season would no longer continue the half-year tournaments in a single season. Instead, a double round-robin league competition in which the 16 participating teams played each other twice for a total of 30 rounds. The season would start on 30 March and end in December. The team finishing first after the 30 rounds of the league tournament at the end of the season was the División Profesional champion.

The champions and runners-up of the league tournament qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores group stage as Bolivia 1 and Bolivia 2, whilst the Copa Bolivia champions will qualify for the Copa Libertadores as Bolivia 3 and the runners-up of the latter tournament will claim the last berth to the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. The remaining international berths were awarded to the best-placed teams in the league tournament, whilst the team placing last in this tournament was relegated and the team placing second-from-bottom will have to play a relegation play-off against the Copa Simón Bolívar runner-up. No aggregate table was considered for this season.

Sixteen teams competed in the league for the 2025 season: the top 14 teams in the aggregate table of the 2024 Primera División season, along with ABB who promoted from the 2024 Copa Simón Bolívar and Real Oruro, who took part in the promotion/relegation play-off. ABB achieved a first-ever promotion to the top tier on 1 December 2024, after winning the Copa Simón Bolívar title. Meanwhile, Real Oruro's first-ever promotion was confirmed on 6 January 2025, after the Bolivian Football Federation's Sports Disciplinary Court ruled the exclusion of Royal Pari from the competition following their abandonment of the second leg of the promotion/relegation play-off.

ABB and Real Oruro replaced Real Santa Cruz and Royal Pari, both relegated to the Santa Cruz regional league.

The promotion/relegation play-off was a two-legged series played by the team placing 15th in the 2025 División Profesional (originally Jorge Wilstermann) and the 2025 Copa Simón Bolívar runners-up San Juan.

The play-off matches were set to be played on 20 and 23 December 2025 (originally scheduled for 17 and 20 December), but the series between Jorge Wilstermann and San Juan was annulled due to Aurora's successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which implied that Jorge Wilstermann would end the season in last place and would be directly relegated and ABB was confirmed as San Juan's rival instead.

ABB defeated San Juan in the series and remained in the top flight for the 2026 season.

Tied 3–3 on aggregate, ABB won on penalties.
