In the Uruguayan Primera División's 2026 season, relegation is decided by the lowest averages in the points-per-game table spanning recent campaigns, with the bottom three dropping to the Segunda División. As of mid-October, with five Clausura dates remaining, Progreso and Danubio sit at the foot of the relegation standings on 68 and 72 points respectively, facing near-certain demotion due to poor recent form and limited points still available. A tight cluster including Montevideo Wanderers, Cerro, Cerro Largo, Central Español, and Albion—separated by just a handful of points—contends for the final spot, with direct clashes and fixture difficulty shaping outcomes. Boston River's recent results have eased its position, while promoted sides like Albion seek to build on early gains amid high-stakes matches ahead.
