The regular stage and quadrangular winners would have played to decide the tournament's champion, but ultimately the same team won both and the final was not necessary.
The same format was recently adopted by the Costa Rican Primera División, but for both half seasons.
FC San Francisco Masachapa finished last in the aggregate table and were relegated to the Segunda División.
The champions from the Segunda División, ART Municipal Jalapa were promoted in their place.
However, due to Sebaco's financial problems, they were not allowed in the playoff, meaning Chinandega remained in Primera División.
