Changes from 1995

  • The tournament would be played like in 1994, where the champion was crowned after the first stage of the tournament and the second berth to the Copa Libertadores was determined by an end-of-season Liguilla featuring 4 teams.
  • Four teams were relegated instead of the customary two. Two teams from the Copa Perú and the Segunda División were promoted in their place.
