Liga Pro is the top professional football league in Ecuador, officially known as the Liga Profesional de Fútbol del Ecuador. It was established in 2019, replacing the previous league system, and features 16 teams competing for the championship title each season. The league operates on a promotion and relegation system with the Serie B, the second tier of Ecuadorian football. The league's format includes two main tournaments each year: the Liga Pro Primera Etapa and the Liga Pro Segunda Etapa. The teams play each other in a round-robin format, and the top teams qualify for international competitions like the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.
