Relegation from the 2026 Liga AUF Uruguaya is decided by the lowest points-per-game average across the 2025 and 2026 seasons combined, with the bottom three dropping to the Segunda División. Progreso and Danubio currently sit at the foot of the relegation table with the weakest averages, followed closely by sides such as Cerro, Montevideo Wanderers, and the promoted clubs Albion and Central Español that carry only 2026 points. Early Clausura results have seen Progreso and Danubio struggle for wins and goal difference, while mid-season signings at several lower-table clubs aim to improve form before the campaign intensifies. Promoted teams must accumulate points quickly to offset shorter records, and any sustained poor results through the remainder of the split-season format will widen gaps in the two-year calculation.
