Universidad César Vallejo and Atlético Universidad finished the 2005 season in 11th and 12th place, respectively, on the three-season average table and thus were relegated to the Segunda División. They were replaced by the champion of the Copa Perú 2005 José Gálvez.
Alianza Lima won the Apertura tournament which allowed them to qualify to the Copa Libertadores 2007. Universitario de Deportes and Cienciano tied for first in the Clausura tournament and were forced to play a playoff. The playoff was a single game, played on a neutral ground, in Trujillo at Estadio Mansiche. Cienciano won the playoff 2-1, qualifying to the Copa Libertadores 2007. Sporting Cristal placed second on the aggregate table, which allowed them to qualify to the first stage of the Copa Libertadores 2007. The winners of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, Alianza Lima and Cienciano, played in a two-legged final. Both teams won their home games, but due to goal difference, Alianza Lima won their twenty-second national title. Unión Huaral placed last on the aggregate table which meant they were relegated to the second division. José Gálvez FBC and Sport Boys tied for second-to-last place. A playoff was contested and Sport Boys won 5-4 in the penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw.
