Following the Apertura and Clausura, playoffs will take place between four clubs – the champions of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, and the two best teams in the cumulative table.

1190 Sports holds pay-TV, free-to-air, pay-per-view, and streaming rights to Liga 1 under a deal struck with the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) in September.

Hernán Donnari, chief executive and co-founder of 1190 Sports, said: "We celebrate this distribution deal with DirecTV, the first to join this strategic expansion plan whose central goal is to exponentially amplify the excitement and visibility of Peruvian football, its clubs, and players, reaching more local sports fans and with the highest international quality standards in content production and distribution.”

1190 Sports currently acts as the international media rights distribution partner for Brazilian club soccer’s top-tier Serie A, and Argentina’s Primera Division. It also handles global distribution rights for media packages owned by the Chilean Football Federation.
