The champion and runner-up teams of the Liga Nacional's official tournaments qualify to participate in international competitions within their regional confederation.

Three teams – Municipal, Tipografía Nacional, and Guatemala FC – finished tied for the first place after the two rounds.

The first 6 clubs in the standings at the end of each competition participate in the playoffs to determine the champion, 1st and 2nd place teams qualify directly to semi-finals, while the others have to play in the quarter-finals.

Now the 12th placed team (the team with the fewest points) in the aggregated table standings (combined standings of both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments) is relegated to the Primera División de Ascenso (2nd division) automatically at the end of the Clausura tournament in late May.

The teams that finish 10th and 11th in the aggregated table standings enter into a two-legged playoff with the second- and third-placed clubs of the Primera División de Ascenso.
