Format
The season was split into four parts: Torneo Apertura, Torneo Finalización, semifinal quadrangulars, and final quadrangular. In the Torneo Apertura, the 16 participating teams were divided into two groups of eight, in which teams played on a round-robin fashion for a total of 16 matches, while in the Torneo Finalización, the 16 teams played each other twice in a double round-robin tournament for a total of 30 matches. The results of both the Apertura and the Finalización were combined into an aggregate table (Reclasificación), with the top eight teams in that table at the end of the season's 46 rounds advancing to the semifinal quadrangulars. Bonus points for the final stages (semifinal and final quadrangulars) were awarded at the end of the Apertura and Finalización tournaments to the top two teams in each Apertura group and the top four teams of the Finalización tournament, with the following scale being used: 1.00, 0.75, 0.50, and 0.25.
In the semifinal quadrangulars, the eight participating teams were divided into two groups of four in which they played each of their group rivals twice, with the top two teams of each group advancing to the final quadrangular, in which they again played their other group rivals twice. The team that topped the final quadrangular was the champion.
The promotion and relegation regime was fully implemented starting from this season, as the Categoría Primera B champion started participating in the top flight and the bottom-placed team in Primera A was relegated to the second tier, being replaced for the following season by the Primera B champion.Los equipos que han conocido el ascenso en el fútbol colombiano The teams that have experienced promotion in Colombian football https://www.espn.com.co/futbol/colombia/nota/_/id/6846706/los-equipos-que-han-conocido-el-ascenso-en-el-futbol-colombiano ESPN es 12 April 2020 20 August 2025

Sixteen teams took part in the season, fourteen of them coming from the previous edition. Envigado participated in the tournament for the first time after becoming the first team to be promoted from the second tier by winning the 1991 Primera B competition, and Real Cartagena (who had competed previously in 1971 with Atlético Bucaramanga's license) returned to the competition, this time replacing Sporting de Barranquilla who went bankrupt and sold their Dimayor license.Anaya G.
