Primera Division Peruana 2000
The 2000 season of the Primera Division Peruana, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 12 teams. The national champion was Universitario.
The national championship was divided into two half-year tournaments, the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura. Each was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff, but since the same club had won both tournaments, it won the national championship automatically.
Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to the champion, as well as to each of the half-year tournaments runners-up, who held a playoff as a formality to decide the overall second place. The bottom team on the aggregate table was relegated, while the eleventh place held a relegation/promotion playoff against the winner of the Segunda Division (Second Division).
