The tournament typically starts in the early months of the year and concludes in the middle of the year. The team with the most points at the end of the tournament is crowned the champion of the Apertura.

The league comprises 16 teams, which includes some of the most successful and popular football clubs in Uruguay, such as Club Nacional de Football and Club Atlético Peñarol. These teams compete in a round-robin format, where each team plays every other team once. The team with the most points at the end of these matches is declared the winner of the Apertura tournament.

The winner of the Apertura tournament qualifies for the end-of-season championship playoff, along with the winner of the Clausura tournament and the team with the most points in the aggregate table. If a team wins both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, they are automatically declared the season champion.
