The season started on 30 January and concluded on 20 December. 20 teams competed against one another. Santa Fe came in as the defending champions having won the title in the 2014 season's Finalización tournament. Jaguares de Córdoba entered as champion of the 2014 Primera B, while Cortuluá and Cúcuta Deportivo were promoted as the top teams of their respective groups in the Promotion tournament. Deportivo Cali won its ninth title in the Torneo Apertura after beating Independiente Medellín in the finals, while in the Torneo Finalización Atlético Nacional won its fifteenth title after beating Junior in the finals, thus surpassing Millonarios as the club with the most championships. Format Starting from this season, the league was expanded to 20 teams: 17 from last season plus Jaguares, the 2014 Primera B winners, and Cortuluá and Cúcuta Deportivo, the top two teams of a playoff tournament played in January 2015 between 8 Primera B sides to fill up the field of 20 teams. The Apertura and Finalización tournaments had a similar format and were divided into three stages: a First Stage which was contested on a single round-robin basis, with each team playing the other teams once and playing a regional rival once more for a total of 20 matches. The top eight teams after the twenty rounds advanced to a knockout round, where they were pitted into four ties to be played on a home-and-away basis, with the four winners advancing to the semifinals and the winner of each semifinal advancing to the final of the tournament, which were played on a home-and-away basis as well. The winner of the final was declared the tournament champion and will participate in the 2016 Copa Libertadores.http://dimayor.com/sintesis-de-la-asamblea-extraordinaria-2/ Síntesis de la Asamblea Extraordinaria Summary of the Extraordinary Assembly DIMAYOR December 21, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141211173145/http://dimayor.com/sintesis-de-la-asamblea-extraordinaria-2/ 2014-12-11 dead Teams Stadia and locations Colombia right 450 Locations of the 2015 Categoría Primera A teams Colombia 6.155000 -75.388889 Águilas Doradas right Arrows 12x12 nw.svg Colombia 7.067500 -73.847222 Alianza Petrolera right Arrows 12x12 nw.svg Colombia 2.998611 -75.287500 Atlético Huila right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 6.230833 -75.590556 Atlético Nacional left Arrows 12x12 se.svg Colombia 4.598056 -74.075833 Bogotá right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 5.540278 -73.361389 Boyacá Chicó, Patriotas right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 4.091602 -76.054033 Cortuluá left Arrows 12x12 e.svg Colombia 7.899722 -72.503889 Cúcuta Deportivo right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 4.437778 -75.200556 Deportes Tolima right Arrows 12x12 nw.svg Colombia 3.420556 -76.522222 Deportivo Cali right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 1.207778 -77.277222 Deportivo Pasto right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 6.171944 -75.580278 Envigado left Arrows 12x12 ne.svg Colombia 6.230833 -75.590556 Independiente Medellín right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 8.747778 -75.881389 Jaguares right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 10.963889 -74.796389 Junior right Arrows 12x12 w.svg Colombia 5.066111 -75.484722 Once Caldas left Arrows 12x12 e.svg Colombia 10.963889 -74.796389 Uniautónoma left Arrows 12x12 e.svg TransparentPlaceholder.png Colombia 16.25 -85 Bogotá teams:La EquidadMillonariosSanta Fe Team City Stadium 2014 season Águilas Doradasa Rionegro Alberto Grisales 4th Alianza Petrolera Barrancabermeja Daniel Villa Zapatab 10th Atlético Huila Neiva Guillermo Plazas Alcidc 8th Atlético Nacional Medellín Atanasio Girardot 2nd Boyacá Chicó Tunja La Independencia 13th Cortuluá Tuluá Doce de Octubre 13th (Primera B)d Cúcuta Deportivo Cúcuta General Santander 6th (Primera B)d Deportes Tolima Ibagué Manuel Murillo Toroe 11th Deportivo Cali Cali Deportivo Cali 9th Deportivo Pasto Pasto Departamental Libertad 16th Envigado Envigado Polideportivo Sur 12th Independiente Medellín Medellín Atanasio Girardot 6th Jaguares Montería Municipal de Montería 1st (Primera B) Junior Barranquilla Metropolitano 5th La Equidad Bogotá Metropolitano de Techo 15th Millonarios Bogotá Nemesio Camacho 7th Once Caldas Manizales Palogrande 3rd Patriotas Tunja La Independencia 14th Santa Fe Bogotá Nemesio Camacho 1st Uniautónoma Barranquilla Metropolitano 18th a: Previously based in Pereira, played their first four home games at Estadio Hernán Ramírez Villegas. b: Previously played at Estadio Álvaro Gómez Hurtado in Floridablanca. c: Temporarily played its home games at Estadio Centenario in Armenia and Estadio Luis Antonio Duque in Girardot due to remodeling works at Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid. d: Promoted through the Promotion tournament. e: Temporarily played its home games at Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Bogotá due to remodeling works at Estadio Manuel Murillo Toro.
