**Relegation in 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 teams dropping to the Segunda División.** As of mid-September, Progreso holds the worst average (around 0.95), followed by Danubio, Montevideo Wanderers, and Cerro, while recently promoted sides Albion, Central Español, and Deportivo Maldonado have shorter 2026 records that leave them vulnerable if results do not improve. The ongoing Clausura shows Liverpool and Montevideo City Torque in strong form at the top, whereas Albion remains winless and several mid-to-lower table sides (including Progreso and Danubio) are struggling for points. With roughly half the season’s matches still to play across the Clausura and any remaining fixtures, late-season results, squad depth, and consistency will determine final averages and the three relegated teams.
