The 2000 season of the Torneo Descentralizado was the 85th season of the top category of Peruvian football (soccer). It was played by 12 teams. The national champion was Universitario.

The national championship was divided into two tournaments, the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura. Each was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff, but since the same club had won both tournaments, it automatically won the national championship.
Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to the champion, as well as to each of the half-year tournament's runners-up, who held a playoff as a formality to decide the overall season runners-up. The bottom team on the aggregate table was relegated, while the eleventh place held a relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the Segunda División (Second Division).
Before the start of the season, Deportivo Pesquero decided to change its location from Chimbote to Huancayo to improve the number of fans in attendence. Then during the season they changed the club's name to Deportivo Wanka.[1]
