List of Peruvian football champions
Introduction The '''Peruvian football champions''' are the winners of the highest league in Peruvian football, which is currently named as Liga 1 and organized by Peruvian Football Federation. The Liga Peruana de Football was established in 1912.It was an amateur league that lasted until 1921 due to scheduling and organizing conflicts. In this league only teams from Lima participated. In 1926, the Peruvian Football Federation took control of organizing the tournament and continued the Peruvian Primera División with the introduction of teams from Callao. In 1951, the Primera División turned professional and in 1966, the Torneo Descentralizado was founded in which the first non-capital teams were invited to play the first national championship. Between 1996 and 2008, the Apertura and Clausura format was adopted.In its early stages the first division was dominated by Universitario and Alianza Lima. Other notable teams were Atlético Chalaco, Sport Boys and Deportivo Municipal. The professional era saw Sporting Cristal rise to challenge the dominance of Universitario and Alianza Lima. These three teams account for nearly a third of the titles won. Melgar, Juan Aurich and Binacional are the only teams outside the Lima Region to have won national titles. As of 2022, the league title has been won by over 21 clubs but Universitario, Alianza Lima, and Sporting Cristal share a total of 71 titles of the 106 titles contested. Universitario and Alianza Lima alone account for 51 of the titles contested.
Amateur league (1912–1950) Peruvian football had amateur status since its foundation until 1950.In the course of this era, Alianza Lima, Atlético Chalaco, Municipal, Sport Boys, and Universitario de Deportes shared the most titles. The first run from 1912 to 1921 featured clubs only from Lima under the Liga Peruana de Football and were awarded the ''Escudo Dewar'' (Dewar Shield, after a trophy gifted to the League by the British Embassy). In 1926 and 1927 two unofficial tournaments were played. In 1928 the first championship official expanded to Callao under the Peruvian Football Federation. In 1936 no tournament took place, however an unofficial tournament were played, where Universitario and Alianza Lima were champion and runner-up respectively.

Clubs Universitario and Alianza Lima have a clear advantage of titles won over the other clubs in Peru. They have won a combined total of 51 Primera División championships of the 106 seasons contested, 26 and 25 respectively. Sporting Cristal trails behind with 20 professional era titles since their debut in 1956 and further behind is the traditional Sport Boys having conquered 6 league titles. Newcomer Universidad de San Martín de Porres has begun to challenge the dominance of the Big Three with back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008 and a third i 2010.In addition, Melgar and Unión Huaral are the only clubs outside the metropolitan area of Lima to have won a national championship. Other noteworthy clubs to have won championships include 4-time winner Deportivo Municipal.Universitario is the club with the longest spell in the Primera División, playing since 1928 when they debuted in the Primera División. They are followed by archrivals Alianza Lima who competed in the first edition of the Primera División but were relegated in 1938 and returning a year later for an uninterrupted spell since 1940.Melgar is the team with the longest run in the Primera División outside Lima, competing since 1971.The oldest clubs currently participating in the Primera División are Alianza Lima and Cienciano which were founded at the beginning of the turn of the century in 1901.The newest clubs active in the Primera División include Ayacucho, Sport Huancayo, Cusco and Universidad de San Martín. The current Juan Aurich participating in the Descentralizado is not the same club that competed in previous seasons.As of 2022, Universitario, Alianza Lima and Sporting Cristal have won 26, 25 and 20 official league titles respectively. They are regarded as the Big Three of Peru. However, other teams have risen to new heights. In particular, a team from Cusco, Cienciano, has been the only Peruvian team to win international tournaments  Copa Sudamericana 2003 and Recopa Sudamericana 2004 , though it has yet to win the domestic league title. Other notable teams include Binacional, Juan Aurich, Melgar and Unión Huaral, which are the only non-capital teams to have won a national championship.===Titles by club===ClubTotalAmateur era (1912–1950)Professional era (1951–)Liga Peruana de FootballLima & Callao (1912–21)Liga ProvincialLima & Callao (1926–50) Liga ProvincialLima & Callao(1951–65)Descentralizado(1966–2018)Liga 1(2019–) '''Universitario'''  '''27'''   —  7  3  16  1 '''Alianza Lima'''  '''25'''  2  6  6  9   2 '''Sporting Cristal'''  '''20'''   —  —  2  17  1 '''Sport Boys'''  '''6'''   —  3  2  1   0 Deportivo Municipal  '''4'''  —  4  0  0   0Universidad San Martín  '''3'''  —  —  —  3   0 Atlético Chalaco  '''2'''  —  2  0  0  0'''Melgar'''  '''2'''   —  —  —  2   0 Mariscal Sucre    '''2'''  —  1  1  0 — Lima Cricket  '''2'''  2  0  0  0 0 Unión Huaral  '''2'''  —  —  —  2  0 ''Sport Progreso''  '''2'''  1  1  —  — — ''Sport José Gálvez''    '''2'''  2  0  —  — — Juan Aurich  '''1''' —  —  —  1  0 '' Jorge Chávez N°1''   '''1'''  1  0  —  —  — Binacional  '''1''' —  —  —  0  1 ''Centro Iqueño''  '''1'''  —  0  1  0   — Defensor Lima  '''1''' —  0  0  1  0 ''San Agustín''  '''1''' —  —  —  1   — ''Sport Juan Bielovucic''    '''1''' 1  —  —  — — ''Sport Inca''    '''1'''  1  —  —  — —

Title definitions Several matches to define champions have been played over the course of Peruvian football history. The earliest title-defining matches were played between teams that tied for first place at the end of the season or tournament phase and forced an extra match to determine the champion. Eventually, finals were organized to be played at the end of the season after set conditions were fulfilled or tournament winners. The first of these finals started in the eighties when winners of each regional tournament played each other to determine the season champion; if the same team won both tournaments, they were champions by default. In the late nineties the Apertura and Clausura tournaments were hosted so that the winners of each tournament would also face each other in the final. If the same team won both tournaments, they were champions by default.In 2001, Alianza Lima won the Apertura tournament, but their performance in the Clausura tournament suffered and placed a shocking 10th place—which led to a rule change. A tournament-winning team had to place above a set place in order to be able to play the final. In the cases of the seasons of 2002, 2007 and 2008, one or both of the tournament winners failed to place above a set position therefore no final was played and the season champion was determined by the aggregate table or by the tournament winner that had satisfied the set conditions.===Key===Match went to extra time †Match decided by a penalty shootout after extra timeMatch replayed===List of finals===YearWinnerScoreRunner-upVenue1986San Agustín1–0Alianza LimaEstadio Nacional1987Universitario1–0Alianza LimaEstadio Nacional1988Sporting Cristal2–1UniversitarioEstadio Nacional1989Unión Huaral1–0Sporting CristalEstadio Nacional1990Universitario4–2Sport BoysEstadio NacionalYearWinnerAgg.Runner-up1st leg2nd leg3rd leg1998Universitario3–3 (4–2 p)Sporting Cristal1–22–1–1999Universitario3–1Alianza Lima3–00–1–2001Alianza Lima3–3 (4–2 p)Cienciano3–20–1–2003Alianza Lima2–1†Sporting CristalSingle match2004Alianza Lima0–0Sporting CristalSingle match2005Sporting Cristal1–0CiencianoSingle match2006Alianza Lima3–2Cienciano0–13–1–2009Universitario2–0Alianza Lima1–01–0–2010Universidad San Martín3–2León de Huánuco1–12–1–2011Juan Aurich2–2Alianza Lima1–20–10–02012Sporting Cristal2–0Real Garcilaso1–01–0–2013Universitario5–3Real Garcilaso2–33–01–12014Sporting Cristal5–4Juan Aurich2–20–03–22015Melgar5–4Sporting Cristal2–23–2–2016Sporting Cristal1–1Melgar1–10–0–2018Sporting Cristal7–1Alianza Lima4–13–0–2019Binacional 4–3Alianza Lima4–10–2–2020Sporting Cristal 3–2Universitario2–11–1–2021Alianza Lima 1–0Sporting Cristal1–00–0–2022Alianza Lima 2–1Melgar0–12–0–2023Universitario3–1Alianza Lima1–12–0–===Other definitions===These matches were played when teams were tied for first in the general league or in a specific tournament.YearWinnerScoreRunner-upVenueIn contention1928Alianza Lima1–1Federación UniversitariaStadium Nacional1928 Campeonato de Selección y Competencia''Replay''Alianza Lima2–0Federación UniversitariaStadium Nacional1935Universitario2–1Alianza LimaStadium Nacional1934 Torneo de Primeros Equipos1955Alianza Lima2–1UniversitarioEstadio Nacional1955 Campeonato Profesional de Lima1961Sporting Cristal2–0Alianza LimaEstadio Nacional1961 Campeonato Profesional de Lima1968Sporting Cristal2–1Juan AurichEstadio Nacional1968 Torneo Descentralizado1976Unión Huaral2–0Sport BoysEstadio Nacional1976 Torneo Descentralizado1989Sporting Cristal2–0Alianza AtléticoEstadio Nacional1989 Torneo Regional I1990Universitario1–0Alianza LimaEstadio Nacional1990 Torneo Regional II1991Sporting Cristal1–0Sport BoysEstadio Nacional1991 Torneo Regional I1991Sporting Cristal1–1UniversitarioEstadio Nacional1991 Torneo Regional II1998Sporting Cristal1–0Alianza LimaEstadio Nacional1998 Torneo Clausura2001Alianza Lima2–1Sporting CristalEstadio Nacional2001 Torneo Apertura2001Cienciano1–0Estudiantes de MedicinaEstadio UNSA2001 Torneo Clausura2002Universitario1–00–0Alianza LimaEstadio MonumentalEstadio Mansiche2002 Torneo Apertura2006Cienciano2–1UniversitarioEstadio Mansiche2006 Torneo Clausura2014Sporting Cristal1–0Alianza LimaEstadio UNSA2014 Torneo Clausura2015Melgar1–1Real GarcilasoEstadio Miguel Grau2015 Torneo Clausura2020Ayacucho1–1Sporting CristalEstadio Monumental2020 Fase 22021Sporting Cristal2–0Universidad San MartínEstadio Alejandro Villanueva2021 Fase 1
Half-year / Short tournaments ===Parallel tournaments===These were the filler tournaments played parallel to or in between the national championship. Some of these tournaments awarded the winning clubs with a qualification to an international tournament or guaranteed a spot in a further round whilst two of these filler tournaments did not award anything to its winner. The purpose of these tournaments was so that the national team could participate in its compromises without affecting the national championship when calling domestic players.
