The 2023 Liga 1 de Fútbol Profesional (known as the Liga 1 Betsson 2023 for sponsorship reasons) was the 107th season of the Peruvian Primera División, the highest division of Peruvian football. A total of 19 teams competed in the season, which began on 3 February and ended on 8 November 2023. The season was originally scheduled to begin on 21 January, but the first two matchdays were postponed due to the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests.[1] The fixtures for the season were announced on 30 December 2022.[2]

Universitario were the champions, winning their twenty-seventh league title after defeating Alianza Lima in the two-legged final with a 3–1 aggregate score.[3] Alianza Lima were the defending champions, having won back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022.
