1926 Peruvian Primera División
# 1926 Peruvian Primera División

The 1926 Primera División was the 11th season of top-flight Peruvian football. A total of 11 teams competed in the league, with Sport Progreso successfully defending their national title won in 1921. This was the first season to be organized by the Peruvian Football Federation as the Liga Peruana de Football ceased operations in 1921.

The Association FBC did not participate in the league because it had permission from the FPF to carry out a football tour to Central America.

Many matches were not played; therefore many teams were relegated and for 1927 the Primera División was reduced to 8 clubs.

The matches that were not played were the following:

* Sport Progreso vs. Jorge Washingthon.
* Sport Progreso vs. Atlético Chalaco.
* Sport Alianza vs. Unión Buenos Aires.
